Porsche 996 / 986 IMS Failure! Solution: IMS Retrofit

The IMS Retrofit kit is a ceramic hybrid ball-bearing replacement for the Porsche M96 and M97 engines

All other bearing replacements are just imitations. The IMS Retrofit kits come laser etched, engraved, and serial numbered to validate their authenticity and feature custom-made, cyrogenically treated ceramic hybrid ball bearings

The Problem !

The Solution !

This kit is for the dual row bearing IMS. Fits MY97-99 vehicles, and some MY00-01 vehicles as well (if you own a MY00-01 car, you must verify which kit you need prior to ordering). Our kit replaces the factory sealed bearing with a new, severe duty custom dual-row ceramic hybrid roller ball bearing for reduced friction and superior performance in poorly lubricated operating conditions and replaces the factory IMS flange hub, flange seal, o-ring(s), bearing retainer, bearing support, and fastener(s) with a stronger, revised billet chromoly assembly

Before ordering, it is necessary to identify which IMS retrofit kit you need.

– SINGLE row IMS Retrofitâ„¢ kit (fits MY02-05 M96 engines including some MY00-01)

– DUAL row IMS Retrofitâ„¢ kit (fits MY97-99 M96 engines including some MY00-01)
