The person I bought my car from drove it several blocks home because it was making so much noise. Like rocks in a tin can she said. The "only" damage was the IMS shaft and bearing assembly. The case is still split waiting on new parts.

My sound is nothing like that. It's more like, a poorly lubed bearing spinning. I was afraid some metal dust could have gotten into the tensioner pulley when I was installing the udp (I thought I vacuumed it all). It's weird that I noticed them now though? Like 600mi later?

Are you serious - it sounds like a 'Poorly lubed bearing'. I'd get it towed to the nearest Porsche specialist. It could save you a rebuild vs. an IMSB replacement.:chicken: could be your cheapest tow ever...

I feel like I'm watching a slow motion train wreck. What kind of wheels are on the car?
