Please state your mileage on your retrofit and what kind of retrofit it is if you think you've logged substantial mileage and possibly have one of the highest mileage on here.

Wow! Speed rII, that was a very early adoption of the 'LN fix'.
What year is your 996.1?

I have about 53K on mine. I think I replaced it in December 2010. Total 155K on the car.

2004 cabriolet

364 days since I bought the car, stock Porsche IMS replacement by dealer immediately prior to my purchase, 41,000km driven this year

Original IMS appeared flawless with 56,000km on it when removed and replaced.

I replaced my dual row in 2010, but have only covered +/- 30,000km in that time.
I think I must have been one of the first in Australia to have the upgrade fitted and well remember the (many) hot arguments flying about on here and Babblers regarding replacing the bearing or not.
