Yes, another 'should I change my IMS bearing' thread, but before you all wring your hands, shout at the screen and give the usual replies, hold on a second.
When I bought my car, it had an invoice to say an IMS single row bearing retrofit kit had been installed, along with a new RMS/clutch. All good I thought, the pin is back in the grenade.
But, after seeing a few comments about the LN engineering bearings, I'm not sure the pin is fully secure in the grenade, more like just about in, slowly falling out.
I'm a little worried, because the indy that fitted it thinks the part number on my invoice related to a LN kit, which seem to have a higher failure rate than the original Porsche one.
So, back to the title question. Its been about 10k miles since the LN went in. Should I be looking at getting it replaced?
I'm not expecting the answer to be 'GET IT OUT NOW!', should I be budgeting for it to be done at the next service?
