Thanks. Do you have the documents for the IMS bearing replacement?

@kidslearningtube @the-racers I just submitted images of the underside. No rust anywhere. No oil leaks. All the boots and bushings look good. New upgraded polyurethane upper control arms on the front and rear. New lower control arms on the front. This 996 doesn't need anything. It's turn key and ready to enjoy.

@kidslearningtube No it has not. I can see if I can get that done in time.
