Sorry to bring up yet again an oh-so-recurring topic, and my apologies if you've answered this before, but...original IMS bearing?

No, I replaced the original IMS bearing with LNE bearing (single row) at ~209,000 miles.

209K on a single row IMS bearing? Well done...you must be a gamblin' man!

Sounds like the one you had gave truly impressive service...ever worry the new one won't last as long as the old one would have???

I replaced the IMS bearing again at 243,000 miles... I had the transmission down so while I was in there I went ahead and replaced it. No issue with the LNE bearing just not quite as smooth as it was when new. BTW I replaced it with another LNE bearing.

Original motor and transmission, no rebuild on either... 2001 base model.

Fantastic! These cars are like tough little military tanks when they are given care and driven right.Maybe there is a Quarter Mill decal out there somewhere.
