The track rod inner joint is part of the steering linkage assembly that connects the steering rack to the front wheel hubs through the tie rods. Each steering rack uses two track rods, each terminating in replaceable joints that allow the linkage to articulate while transmitting steering input.

The OE Match version is designed to match the original Porsche component used on 964 Carrera 4 and RS models. It provides the necessary articulation between the steering rack and tie rod, ensuring precise steering geometry and smooth movement of the front wheels.

The inner track rod joint allows the steering linkage to pivot while transferring movement from the steering rack to the tie rod and ultimately to the front wheels. This articulation allows the steering system to function smoothly while accommodating suspension movement.

Replacing worn inner joints restores steering precision and eliminates unwanted play within the steering system.

Function
• Steering Linkage Pivot: Connects the tie rod to the steering rack
• Wheel Control: Transfers steering input to the front suspension
• Articulation: Allows movement of steering components during suspension travel
• Handling Stability: Maintains precise steering response and alignment

Track rod joints are subject to constant steering movement, road shocks and environmental exposure. Over time they can develop play or wear, leading to vague steering, poor handling or uneven tyre wear. Replacing worn joints restores accurate steering response and ensures the vehicle maintains proper alignment and road stability.

Consider replacing the inner track rod joint if you notice:
•  Excessive steering play
•  Knocking or clunking from the steering system
•  Uneven front tyre wear
• Steering instability during driving
