Upgrades at Chariots of Simcoe
The Chariots of Simcoe team have a wealth of experience of successful IMS bearing upgrades.
Designed by Flat 6 Innovations and LN Engineering specifically for 2000-2005 Porsche Boxsters and 911s, the Single Row Pro IMS features an angular contact, dual row ceramic hybrid ball-bearing that boasts a 90% greater load capacity than the factory fitted IMS bearings from those model years.
We believe it is by far the best IMS Solution on the market because it offers reduced wear and a longer service life, while also eliminating the possibility of the notoriously problematic factory fitted bearing failing and causing catastrophic engine failure.
Why is the Single Row Pro IMS Retrofit so effective?
Engineers identified the fact that the single row bearing used from 2000 to 2005 only had half as much load capacity as the dual row version used on earlier models. This proved to be a major contributory factor to the unusually high number of IMS bearing failures in 986 Boxsters, 996 911s and a few of the very early 987 Boxsters.
The dual row ceramic hybrid ball-bearing solution developed for the Single Row Pro IMS Retrofit has a vastly improved load capacity over the standard IMS bearing, eradicating this potential cause of a costly bearing failure.
