Porsche 996/997/Boxster IMS Intermediate Shaft Bearing Upgrade - Eternal Fix - European Parts Solution

PORSCHE IMS BEARING UPGRADE KIT 996, 997, BOXSTER (S), CAYMAN (S)

Prevent future catastrophic engine failure permanently with the only true eternal fix for the notorious Porsche intermediate shaft bearing. Unlike the other failure-prone ball bearing products that the original IMS and other upgrades on the market use, EPS uses a patented cylindrical bearing with thrust control that can be pressed directly into the back of the engine without disassembly. The cylindrical bearings have over 12 times the load capacity of other ball bearing solutions making the EPS IMS bearing the clear choice. Backed by a full 5-year warranty and includes an oil feed modification kit.

WHAT MAKES OUR SOLUTION DIFFERENT?

Roller bearings are not intended for carrying large axial loads. Similar to failure-prone ball bearings, when cylindrical roller bearings are used for thrust control, the roller becomes compromised due to the limited surface contact area on the sides of the rollers. The results of using a cylindrical bearing for thrust control will be similar to all other ball bearing solutions.

In our patented system, we use a 15mm cylindrical bearing with thrust control that allows for the separation of the axial load from the radial load. Our roller bearings do NOT carry the axis load (thrust control) on the side, which leaves the roller free to carry only the radial load (main load). The axial load is carried exclusively on the entire perimeter of the outer race. This results in a bearing that is not overloaded and will last the lifetime of the engine.
