IMS/BEARING ... Ok my 2005 boxster s is outside the class. The class(2001 to earlier 2005) used specific bearings that the plastic failed on. Alright hears my theses. 1970 karmmann ghia convertible tops melted. Vw blamed the cars being washed with soap that had a chemical reaction.... My upholstery instructor informed me that it was really the plastic manufacturer of the convertible top material did not have proper UV component. ...OK .... in the 1970's anyone use feather fill primer? Some people after block sanding found little pimples.... the paint jobber said it was the acetone that sucked water molecules out of the air and trapped then in the finish. .....no ...according to featherfills own scientist.. it was that the supplier of the resin to make feather fill was below grade and created resin pools that then gassed off that created the pimples.... this rhymes....the plastic seal of the ims bearings were probably made of a plastic resin component that was not to "intended" design standard.
