The IMS Bearing Issue on 996 & 997
If you’re buying or own a 1997–2008 Porsche 911 or Boxster, the IMS (intermediate shaft) bearing is something you must address. Failure of this bearing can destroy the engine without warning. A pre-purchase inspection should include checking the IMS bearing condition. We can install the LN Engineering IMS retrofit solution to eliminate this failure mode entirely.
Why Wizard Werks for Your Porsche?
Porsche dealers in the Chicago area charge premium rates — $300+ for an oil service, $2,000+ for major maintenance. Wizard Werks provides the same quality service at a fraction of that cost. Direct communication with your technician, honest diagnosis, no unnecessary upsells.
