The tie rod assembly connects the steering rack to the front wheels, transferring your steering input directly to the wheels. It ensures the wheels turn precisely when you move the steering wheel, keeping the car stable, responsive, and safe on the road.
If the tie rod wears out, steering can become loose or unresponsive, tire wear may increase, and overall handling can suffer. Replacing it restores accurate steering control and proper suspension alignment.
Signs of Wear:
• Excessive play or looseness in the steering wheel
• Steering feels unresponsive or “loose” while driving
• Noticeable movement when the tie rod is gripped and moved by hand

The steering rack controls the front wheels by means of two track rods, terminated by replaceable joints - the "Track Rod Ends", attached to the swivel hubs. These will eventually wear, leading to problems with steering and handling, as well as being a failure point on the UK MOT and presumably on the statutory inspections in other countries.

What This Product Does:
- Transmit Steering Input - When you turn the steering wheel, the steering rack moves. The track rod carries that motion to the wheel knuckle, causing the wheels to turn.
- Maintain Alignment & Geometry - It helps maintain front-end alignment (toe settings) so tires wear evenly and steering remains precise.
- Compensate for Suspension Movement - As the suspension moves up/down (bumps, cornering), the track rod must maintain its connection and angle without binding or excessive play.
- Absorb Minor Deflection - It must be stiff, but slightly forgiving to absorb small impacts or vibrations — not rigid.
- Excess play / looseness in steering — the steering wheel feels “loose” or delayed.
- Knock / clunk noises from front end during bumps or over uneven road surfaces.
- Uneven or accelerated tire wear, especially inner or outer edges.
- Steering pulling — the car tends to drift or pull to one side.
- Variable steering feel — sometimes stiff, sometimes loose — depending on direction or motion.
- Excessive vibration or shimmy in the front wheels.
- Safety & Control - A loose or failing track rod compromises steering precision. That can reduce driver control, especially at higher speeds — a serious safety hazard.
- Prevents Further Damage - A worn track rod transmits irregular forces to the steering rack, knuckles, and wheel bearings, accelerating wear on those components.
- Restores Alignment Integrity - A good track rod lets alignment settings (toe, camber) hold correctly; a bad one causes alignment to drift.
- Better Tire Life - Proper steering geometry means more even tire contact and less edge wear, saving you money on new tires.
- Drivability & Feel - Restoring tight, responsive steering ensures the car feels solid, controlled, and responsive — not vague.

Porsche Track Rods | Design911 Precision Steering & Suspension Components for Accuracy and Stability
Track rods (also known as tie rods) are crucial steering components that connect the steering rack to the wheel hubs, transferring steering input directly to the wheels. They play a key role in maintaining alignment, stability, and cornering precision. A well-functioning track rod ensures smooth steering response, balanced geometry, and predictable handling — essential for the sharp, communicative driving experience Porsche is known for.
At Design911, we stock a wide range of track rods and tie rod ends, engineered for strength, precision, and longevity. Manufactured from high-grade steel and corrosion-resistant materials, each component is designed to perform under high loads and extreme driving conditions. Whether for daily maintenance, restoration, or performance upgrades, our track rods deliver the precision and reliability demanded by Porsche drivers worldwide.
What Do Track Rods Do?
Track rods are vital to the steering system, converting motion from the steering rack into the turning movement of the wheels.
Core Functions:
• Transmit steering input from the rack to the wheel hub assembly.
• Maintain wheel alignment and geometry for stable handling.
• Allow controlled articulation and suspension movement.
• Support precise cornering and responsive steering feedback.
• Ensure predictable handling in performance and road driving.
Accurate, durable track rods are essential for both safety and performance, ensuring every steering input results in precise and confident road control.
Why Do Track Rods Fail or Degrade?
Track rods and tie rod ends are constantly exposed to road vibrations, suspension movement, and environmental factors, leading to wear over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Ball joint wear causing looseness or excessive play.
• Corrosion or damage from road debris and moisture.
• Rubber boot cracking, allowing dirt to contaminate joints.
• Impact damage from potholes, kerbs, or rough terrain.
• Age-related metal fatigue or seized threads.
Worn or damaged track rods can lead to poor steering response, uneven tyre wear, and alignment issues — making timely replacement critical for handling precision and safety.
