LN Engineering 10 0124 100 Intermediate Shaft Bearing Update Kit for Porsche

The LN Engineering 10 0124 100 is an intermediate shaft bearing upgrade kit designed for Porsche M96 engines originally equipped with dual row bearings. This retrofit kit replaces the OEM bearing with a custom ceramic hybrid dual row bearing that addresses common IMS bearing failures.

Why Upgrade Your IMS Bearing:

The factory intermediate shaft bearing is one of the most well-documented failure points in M96 Boxster and Carrera engines. The seal in the factory bearing fails, causing engine oil to wash out the original grease, leading to increased friction, overheating, and eventual bearing self-destruction.

Key Features:

• Exclusive cryogenically-treated ceramic hybrid ball bearing with higher load rating than OEM
• Designed to be lubricated by engine oil to prevent overheating
• Includes custom shaft cover flange with seal and bolts, plus improved center bolt
• Enables bearing replacement without engine removal
• 6 year or 75,000 mile service interval

Fitment:

Fits 1997-2000 Porsche Boxster (Type 986) and 911 Carrera (Type 996) with M96 engines equipped with dual row IMS bearings (original cover dish depth = 13.34 mm).

Installation Requirements:

Requires IMS basic tool set #10 0125 001 for proper installation. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper fit and function.
