Upgrade the steering precision of your Short Wheelbase (SWB)
Porsche 911 (1964-1968) with this OE Match Turbo Tie Rod Upgrade Kit, specially
engineered using the longer tie rod assemblies required for early SWB cars.
Unlike the more commonly available 1969-1989 Turbo Tie Rod Kits, this version
has been developed specifically for the unique steering geometry of the 1964-1968
Short Wheelbase Porsche 911, ensuring correct fitment without compromising
suspension geometry or steering travel.
Why Are These Tie Rods Different?
Many Turbo Tie Rod Upgrade Kits available today are designed for 1969-1989 Porsche 911 models.
However, 1964-1968 Short Wheelbase cars require a longer tie rod assembly because of their different steering rack position, front suspension geometry and shorter wheelbase chassis.
Installing the later tie rods on an SWB car can lead to incorrect adjustment range and compromised steering geometry.
What Is the Turbo Tie Rod Upgrade?
The Turbo Tie Rod Upgrade is derived from the steering system developed for the Porsche 930 Turbo. Instead of using the original rubber-damped tie rod joint, the Turbo design features a precision ball-and-socket joint that creates a far more rigid and accurate steering connection.
By eliminating flex within the steering linkage, steering inputs are transmitted more efficiently from the steering wheel to the front wheels.
Compared to the original system, the Turbo tie rod design
offers:
- More direct steering feel.
- Sharper steering response.
- Greater steering accuracy.
- Improved steering feedback.
- Reduced steering play.
- Better cornering precision.
- Increased durability.
- Longer service life.
It has become one of the most popular steering upgrades for classic Porsche 911 models because it enhances steering performance while retaining excellent everyday usability.
Why Upgrade Your Original Tie Rods?
Although the original steering components were well engineered, the rubber-damped joints naturally deteriorate with age.
Even if obvious wear is not present, ageing rubber can reduce steering precision and create a vague feeling through the steering wheel.
Upgrading to Turbo specification tie rods offers several
advantages:
- Sharper turn-in.
- Faster steering response.
- More precise steering inputs.
- Improved road feel.
- Better communication between the tyres and steering wheel.
- Increased front-end stability.
- Reduced compliance under heavy cornering.
- Improved confidence during spirited driving.
The improvement is immediately noticeable, particularly on winding roads where accurate steering inputs are essential.
When Should You Replace the Tie Rods?
Tie rods should be inspected regularly and replaced if any
of the following symptoms are present:
- Excessive steering play.
- Loose steering feel.
- Knocking noises from the steering.
- Uneven tyre wear.
- Wandering or instability.
- Poor steering response.
- Split or damaged protective boots.
- Suspension restoration or steering rack replacement.
Many owners choose to install the Turbo Tie Rod Upgrade while replacing a steering rack or rebuilding the front suspension, allowing the entire steering system to be refreshed at the same time.
What Does the Turbo Tie Rod Kit Do?
The kit replaces the steering linkage between the steering rack and front hubs.
Its primary functions include:
- Transmitting steering inputs more accurately.
- Reducing movement within the steering linkage.
- Improving steering precision.
- Enhancing front-end response.
- Increasing steering feedback.
- Supporting accurate suspension geometry.
The result is a tighter, more confidence-inspiring steering system that better reflects the dynamic capabilities of the classic Porsche 911.
Benefits
- Sharper steering response.
- More direct steering feel.
- Improved steering precision.
- Better road feedback.
- Reduced steering compliance.
- Enhanced handling confidence.
- Longer service life.
- Straightforward installation.
Following installation, a professional four-wheel alignment is strongly recommended to ensure optimum steering geometry, tyre wear and handling performance.

OEMatch Track Rods — Fit, Function, Confidence
OEMatch supplies a selection of track rods engineered for Porsche models, intended to support accurate steering and reliable alignment. These parts suit routine maintenance, restoration or upgraded steering control and provide practical alternatives when original manufacturer items are unavailable.
Available Types
- Replacement track rods
- Tie rod ends
- Complete tie rod assemblies
Understanding OEMatch Track Rods
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original track rods. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the track rods and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM track rods engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Track rods connect the steering rack to the wheel hubs, transmitting steering input to the road wheels and helping to maintain alignment and predictable geometry. Correctly functioning track rods support precise cornering, balanced tyre wear and consistent steering feedback, all of which contribute to the characteristic handling expected from Porsche vehicles.
Benefits Include
- Restores steering precision and tight steering response
- Helps maintain wheel alignment and reduces uneven tyre wear
- Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials for long service life
Why Track Rods Wear and Fail
- Ball joint and linkage wear leading to excessive play
- Rubber boot damage or corrosion allowing contamination and accelerated wear
- Impact or shock damage and age-related metal fatigue or seized threads
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Track Rods
Replacing worn track rods restores alignment integrity, improves steering accuracy and prevents accelerated tyre wear. For Porsche models, timely replacement supports safe handling and consistent wheel geometry, helping to preserve both road manners and suspension settings across routine servicing or after accidental damage.
Advantages
- Direct-fit alternatives made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances
- Durable construction and corrosion protection for extended service life
- Suitable for a wide range of classic and modern Porsche models
