Vehicle Details
do I need to worry about the IMS bearing on this car?
You’re in the clear! No, you don’t need to worry about the IMS bearing on this car.
This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S has a brand new engine that was replaced at Porsche of Bellevue in August 2025 with:
- An upgraded IMS bearing installed
- A 2-year warranty on the new engine
The IMS (Intermediate Shaft) bearing issue is one of the few known concerns on the 996/997-generation 911s, but since this car has a fresh factory engine with the updated IMS bearing, that problem has been completely eliminated. In fact, this is actually a huge selling point for this car–you are getting the peace of mind of a new engine without paying new-car prices!
