I don't like to waste money, but critical engine parts that require lots of labor to replace are not where I look to save money. My first IMS replacement was the Pelican Parts kit. I was happy with it, but for the next car I chose the LN bearing for PROVEN reliability and peace of mind. The many discussions on the forum may dissuade you from choosing the type of oil feed used on the EPS and question the long term reliability.
Looking for a cheap replacement that many have been happy with? Get the Pelican Parts IMS Bearing kit.
Want to experiment with your own solution? Get the Pelican Parts kit (for the accessories) and find a bearing that you like better.
Want proven reliability with a guarantee? Get the LN Engineering kit.

Search ----> Read ----> Decide. All of it has been discussed at length.

There is SSSoooo much discussion on this subject that it is going to make your head hurt
AND
your probably not going to get much actual direction towards what solution to use.
There are several options and recommendations including - not doing anything.
About the only money saving option that could be thought of for a fix like this is building your own tools. And even that is highly debated.

Good luck and welcome
