Sam Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) I have just picked mp my first Porsche, an 06 Cayman S . Recently popped in to see a Porsche specialist, who suggested the first thing i should do is check the IMS bearing. My understanding is that the cayman did not have any issues with the IMS bearing, anyone here have a different view on this? Thanks Sam Edited March 26, 2017 by Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodhouse Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've owned a Gen 1 for 5 years and visit Porsche forums every day. IMS bearing failures on Caymans to date have been very few so I personally don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks for that, i know anything can happen, but its good to know odds are somewhat on your side against this happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob63 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There's a plethora of information on the IMS issue/solution, Google is your friend here and it is well worth researching, but you'll need to make your own judgement on this. It's never going to be "a problem" until the bearing fails...then it's a BIG problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Thanks for the info. Car currently getting serviced, new rear shocks etc, and specialist was going to use a camera to check IMS bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
