The OE Match Steering U Joint is a replacement universal joint for the steering intermediate shaft fitted to selected classic Porsche 911 and 930 Turbo models.
Fits:- Porsche 911 1970-89
- Porsche 930 Turbo 1975-89
Diagram Ref No 29
The universal joint forms an important mechanical connection between the steering column and steering gear. Because these components are not positioned in one perfectly straight line, the U-joint allows rotary movement from the steering wheel to pass through the angled steering shaft while maintaining a positive mechanical connection.
When the driver turns the steering wheel, the joint articulates while transmitting that movement through the intermediate steering shaft and ultimately to the steering rack.
With age, corrosion, contamination and repeated movement, the original steering joints can develop stiffness, free play or wear. This can result in poor steering feel, clunking, binding or an inconsistent response at the steering wheel.
Replacing a worn joint helps restore smooth and predictable steering operation and removes unwanted movement from this safety-critical system.
What This Product Does:
The steering U-joint connects sections of the steering shaft while allowing them to operate at an angle.
Its main functions are to:
- Transfer steering-wheel rotation to the steering rack.
- Allow the steering shaft to operate through changing angles.
- Provide a direct mechanical steering connection.
- Maintain accurate steering response.
- Allow smooth articulation as the steering wheel is turned.
- Minimise unwanted play in the steering linkage.
- Help maintain consistent steering feel.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Common symptoms can include:
- Clunking when turning the steering wheel.
- Clicking or popping from the steering shaft.
- Excessive steering-wheel play.
- Steering response that feels delayed.
- Stiff or heavy steering.
- Steering that feels notchy.
- Binding at particular steering-wheel positions.
- Uneven steering effort.
- Steering wheel failing to move smoothly through its range.
- Metallic movement from the steering-column area.
- Corrosion visible on the joint.
- Noticeable free play in the universal joint.
- Steering feel changing unexpectedly.
Why Replacement Matters:
Replacing a worn or damaged Steering U Joint helps restore:
- Smooth steering movement.
- Accurate steering response.
- Reduced free play.
- Consistent steering effort.
- Predictable steering feedback.
- Correct steering-shaft articulation.
- Safe mechanical connection between the steering wheel and steering rack.
Because this component forms part of the direct steering linkage, failure or severe deterioration can affect the driver's ability to control the vehicle.

Possible symptoms include:
- Excessive play at the steering wheel
- Steering wheel movement before the wheels respond
- Loose or vague steering feel
- Knocking or clunking while steering
- Clicking noises when turning the wheel
- Unusual vibration through the steering wheel
- Binding or stiffness
- Inconsistent steering movement
- Visible corrosion
- Damaged splines or connection points
- Bent or distorted shaft
- Excessive movement at shaft connections
Any unexplained steering looseness, binding or abnormal movement should be diagnosed before further driving.
Why Replacement Matters:
The steering shaft is part of the direct mechanical system responsible for controlling vehicle direction.
Replacing a confirmed worn or damaged shaft can help:
- Restore precise steering input
- Reduce unwanted steering play
- Restore secure mechanical engagement
- Correct shaft-related knocking or movement
- Restore smooth steering operation
- Improve steering consistency
- Replace corroded or damaged components

Understanding OEMatch U Joints and Shafts
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original u joints and shafts. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the u joints and shafts and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM u joints and shafts engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Steering UJs and intermediate shafts transmit rotational input from the wheel to the rack while accommodating suspension movement and changes in steering angle. Correct joint articulation and secure shaft engagement minimise vibration, retain steering feedback and help maintain consistent tracking and driver control.
Benefits Include
- Restores precise steering input and reduces play
- Reduces noise and vibration transmitted to the steering wheel
- Durable materials and corrosion resistance for longer service life
Why U Joints and Shafts Wear and Fail
- Bearing wear or play in the joint causing looseness
- Corrosion from moisture, road salt or contaminants
- Lack of lubrication leading to stiffness or seizure
- Fatigue, impact damage or spline wear on splined shafts
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch U Joints and Shafts
Worn or degraded UJs and shafts can produce steering vibration, stiffness or excessive play that affects control and safety. Replacing these components restores consistent steering feel and handling balance for Porsche models, supports reliable alignment and reduces the risk of secondary wear to associated steering parts during normal and spirited use.
Advantages
- Replacements made to original-spec dimensions where applicable
- Compatibility with factory mounting points and common sensors
- Parts chosen to suit restoration, maintenance and performance needs
