Based on my service writer's recommendations, the dual-row LN hybrid bearing they installed ~30K miles ago is being left in situ. Their techs have not seen a single failure of the LN dual-row retrofit since they started installing them.
I'm debating this as well. The dual-row LN hybrid bearing in my MY2000 has about 30k miles on it and is 7 years old. My AOS is original so I'm anxious to get that replaced even though it's showing no signs of failure. Being that it's a cab and a tip, I've read that the engine needs to be out in order to do the AOS. I'm guessing that replacing the "thing" at the same time will cost another $1k. What to do?
Given that yours is a tippy, I'd also not spend the money on replacing the bearing. Consequently, I'd leave the AOS alone until it fails or you need to get in there for some other reason.

I feel like I've thrown enough PM at the car. Now that Porsche is selling us engines that are quasi-affordable, I'm a lot less risk averse.

I assumed you meant you wanted the video included directly.
The trick is to use the http rather than https version of the url.

Garage is coming along. Have a few places I need to touch up with some joint compound, but walls are pretty much done. Also installed a new wall mount opener to get more vertical height for the lift. I ordered an 84" epiq, so the garage will be pretty well equipped in a few weeks.
