Improved IMS with RND single-row roller bearing for Porsche Porsche 986 Boxster (2001-2004)

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 service interval of 6 years or 120,000 km,

whichever comes first, giving you lasting protection against conventional IMS failures.

This RND Roller IMS is designed to fit Porsche 986 Boxsters from 2001 to 2004 (check beforehand whether your Porsche is equipped with a single- or double-row IMS: single-row thickness 13.34 mm, double-row 19.27 mm):

- 986 2.7 Boxster - 220 hp (M96.22) from 2001 to 2002

- 986 3.2 Boxster S - 252 hp (M96.21) from 2001 to 2002

- 986 2.7 Boxster - 228 hp (M96.23) from 2003 to 2004
