This bearing with 100% ceramic balls is stronger than the original one. It resists friction better with a high-temperature grease designed to withstand temperatures up to 180°C.
Both the bearing lubricant and the housing seal are of the highest quality available for this application, to ensure the reliability of your engine.
To facilitate bearing assembly and preserve its integrity. We strongly recommend that you chill the bearing in a freezer for 2 hours before fitting it, and that you heat the area of the engine block where the IMS will be fitted to 120 degrees Celsius.
- Original two-row version: Use the 6 mm spacer ring and a closed circlip for mounting (see application image for two-row version).- Original single-row version: Do not use the 6 mm spacer ring. Use an open circlip as a retaining ring
Also, make sure there's no oil in the intermediate shaft tube before fitting the bearing!Centrifugal force, combined with residual oil, creates a counterweight that will destroy the bearing prematurely.

Manufactured by LN Engineering, this RND-branded IMS bearing is an upgraded, higher-quality version of the original equipment.
Designed to offer enhanced reliability and optimum durability, it's an ideal solution for extending engine life and extending IMS bearing replacement times.
The use of a roller bearing rather than a ball bearing gives this IMS kit superior strength.
Roller bearings are mainly used in the internal parts of gearboxes, where the balls are replaced by cylinders called rollers , which considerably reduce friction. They also offer other advantages, such as low maintenance and low heat generation.
The RND RS Roller IMS bearing has a recommended maintenance interval of 6 years or 120,000 km,whichever comes first, giving you lasting protection against conventional IMS failures.
