Description: The joints on tie rods are subject to wear, which usually starts with a torn boot. Once the grease has been washed out of the axial joint or tie rod end, the ball joint will fail within a few thousand kilometers. Defective rubber sleeves or rod ends are complained about at the TÜV at the latest. Because changing the tie rod always requires a new chassis measurement and adjustment of the toe-in, it is advisable to replace the tie rod completely, depending on the condition. We have a variety of tie rod ends, axial joints and complete tie rods, including the right steering boots.
These tie rods are an optimized “turbo design” design. This is characterized by the play-free ball joint, also known as the axial joint, on the inside of the tie rod. True to the original, the Carrera models on the 911 G model and 964 had an articulated fork with a rubber bushing. Although this provides more comfort, the steering behavior is less direct. The 930 turbo and the later 993 Carrera/turbo models have a play-free axial joint as standard.
