What is the Porsche IMS Bearing?
Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing plays a crucial role in the operation of your Porsche's engine. It helps synchronize the engine's crankshaft with the camshafts, ensuring the valves open and close at the right times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
Unfortunately, certain Porsche models manufactured between 1997 and 2008, including the Porsche 911, Boxster, and Cayman, are known to experience IMS bearing failure. If the IMS bearing fails, it can cause catastrophic engine damage that can lead to expensive repairs.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Porsche's IMS Bearing
At Porsche McKinney, we want to keep your Porsche running at its peak. Knowing the early warning signs of IMS bearing failure can help you avoid severe engine damage. These signs include:
- Strange Noises: Unusual sounds like metallic rattling or knocking from the rear of the car can signal IMS bearing failure.
- Oil Leaks: Look for oil spots under your Porsche after it has been parked for a while. A failing IMS bearing often leaks oil.
- Metal in Oil or Oil Filter: During oil changes, look for metal shavings in the oil or oil filter. This could be a sign of IMS bearing failure.
- Decreased Performance: If your Porsche seems to lack power or struggles to maintain speed, this could be a symptom of a failing IMS bearing.
If you notice any of these symptoms, bring your Porsche to McKinney for an immediate inspection. Our team of certified Porsche technicians will quickly identify the problem and provide effective solutions.
