The cotter pin nut fastens the lower ball joint to the front suspension arm and secures it with a locking cotter pin through the castle slots. This prevents the nut from rotating loose, maintaining safe steering and suspension geometry during operation.
Over time, nuts can wear, corrode, or lose torque retention due to repeated assembly, age, or exposure to moisture and road debris. A weakened or reused nut may compromise the ball joint’s security, leading to excessive play or unsafe suspension movement.
When to Replace:
• During front suspension rebuilds or ball joint replacement.
• If the original nut is rusted, damaged, or has distorted threads.
• Whenever the cotter pin is replaced, ensuring proper torque and locking function.
Replacing a new cotter pin nut restores factory-level safety, alignment integrity, and reliability in your classic Porsche’s suspension system.

Upgrade your front suspension precision with this de-cambered ball joint, designed for early Porsche 911 and 914 models (1968-72) using the FI16 suspension system. This ball joint features an offset mounting position, delivering approx 3 mm additional negative camber per side, improving front end grip and cornering response.

Fits:
- Porsche 911 1968-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)
- Porsche 914 (1970-1976)
Diagram Ref No 13, 15, 16, 17
What This Product Does:
- By offsetting the ball joint mounting location, the bottom of the strut / control arm is moved slightly outward, thereby increasing the negative camber angle of the front wheels (camber meaning the top of the tire tilts inward). This helps maintain better contact patch under cornering or when the car is loaded laterally.
- Improves front end grip and handling when cornering heavily by limiting camber loss under load.
- Because it uses upgraded hardware, it ensures the A-arm to spindle connection remains precise, reducing deflection or unwanted movement compared to worn standard joints.
Symptoms & When You Might Need It:
- If you’ve lowered the front of the car, added stiffer springs or anti-roll bars, you may find the standard camber spec is insufficient — tires may roll onto the outer edge when cornering. This de-cambered joint helps adjust for that.
- Worn or loose ball joints can cause front end play, knocking noises when the steering is turned or when hitting bumps, and uneven tire wear (especially on the inner or outer shoulder). The upgrade version helps eliminate play and adjust geometry.
- Loss of front negative camber under lateral load: you might notice less cornering grip, front tires scrub or overheat on the outer edge, or the car understeers more than normal.
- Visible wear: when inspecting, you might find the original ball joint housing is worn, the stud loosened, rubber boots torn, or excessive play when lifting the wheel and wiggling the control arm.
Why This Upgrade Matters:
- For enthusiasts, track-day users or cars modified with lowered suspension and stiffer springs, the factory ball joint may no longer allow optimal camber and geometry settings. This de-cambered version gives a relatively easy bolt-in method to move the geometry in the right direction without major suspension redesign.
- It offers both improved handling (by more negative camber) and also improved front end stability and precision (by replacing worn or standard joints with a stronger, correctly designed part).
- Considering the age of 911/914 front suspension components, renewing joints such as this one is a worthwhile investment in safety, longevity and driving feel.

- Porsche 911 1978-1989 3.3L Turbo (930)
What This Product Does:
- Increases Negative Camber “by Default” - Because the stud is offset outward, the wheel gets a small amount of negative camber without requiring changes at the top strut mount. This helps maintain better contact patch under cornering forces.
- Counters Camber Loss Under Load - In cornering, body roll or suspension compression tends to reduce negative camber (i.e. flatten the tire). The de-cambered joint helps offset that loss so the inside tire stays more planted.
- Improves Handling Stability and Turn-In - With more negative camber under load, the front end grips better, reducing understeer and making turn-in sharper.
- Mild Track / Performance Tuning Without Major Mods - Rather than needing to retrofit adjustable camber plates or change strut towers, this joint gives a modest camber “boost” in a bolt-on manner.
- Retains Full Ball Joint Functionality - It still allows articulation (steering, suspension travel) like a normal ball joint — the offset is only in its alignment, not in its motion.
- Knocking or Clunking Noises - A dull knock from the front suspension, particularly over bumps or while turning, often indicates play in the ball joint.
- Uneven or Excessive Tire Wear - Worn joints allow uncontrolled camber and toe changes, wearing the inside or outside edges of the front tires.
- Loose or Wandering Steering - When the ball joint develops play, the steering feels vague or “floaty” — the car no longer holds a consistent line through corners.
- Vibration or Shimmy at Speed - Free play in the joint can cause steering wheel vibration, particularly over rough surfaces.
- Visible Wear or Damage - Torn dust boots, leaking grease, or excessive movement when inspected during service are clear signs the joints need replacing.
- Inconsistent Handling Under Load - The car may feel unstable mid-corner or react unpredictably to bumps due to geometry shifts caused by worn ball joints.
- Restores Safety & Structural Integrity - The ball joint supports the front suspension load. A failure can cause complete loss of steering control.
- Maintains Proper Wheel Alignment - Fresh joints eliminate unwanted camber/toe drift and keep tires correctly aligned under all loads.
- Improves Steering Precision - Tight, new ball joints restore that crisp Porsche steering feel and predictable handling
- Enhances Cornering Grip - The de-cambered design adds built-in negative camber, improving tire contact and front-end grip through corners.
- Prevents Secondary Wear - Worn joints increase stress on tires, control arms, and suspension bushings — leading to expensive downstream repairs.
- Perfect for Performance & Track Use - The offset camber geometry helps maintain optimal contact patches during high lateral loads, reducing understeer and improving lap-to-lap consistency.

- Porsche 911 1978-1989 3.3L Turbo (930)
What This Product Does:
- The ball joint sits in the lower portion of the front suspension A-arm (wishbone) and provides the pivotal interface between the A-arm and the steering knuckle/hub.
- It allows controlled articulation (up/down movement of A-arm, steering motion) while keeping the hub and suspension geometry correct (camber, toe, caster).
- Because it’s a replacement for the “RS A-arm ball joint”, when worn or loose it can degrade handling, alignment, tire wear, and front-end feel.
- In essence ensures the front suspension remains tight, precise and responsive.
Symptoms Of Wear Or When To Replace:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension during cornering, over bumps, or when steering — ball joints with internal play can cause these.
- Uneven or excessive tyre wear on the inside or outside of the front tyres — worn ball joints allow geometry to drift under load.
- Loose or vague steering feel, wandering front end or less precise turn-in — again typically linked to suspension joint play.
- Visible rubber boot damage, grease leakage or rust around the ball joint — older 911 RS suspension components may have aged.
- Restores safety & handling precision: On a high-performance classic like the Porsche 911 RS, the front suspension must be tight and accurate — a worn ball joint undermines that.
- Maintains correct geometry: Fresh joints help keep camber, toe and caster stable under load — vital for handling balance and tyre life.
- Prevents further damage: A failing ball joint can lead to increased stress on tyres, A-arms, bearings and may lead to more costly front-end repairs.
