Diagram Ref No 12A
The steering shaft support ring is an important component of the steering column, helping to keep the steering shaft correctly centred during operation. Over time, the original support ring can wear, harden, crack, or deteriorate through age and continual use. This can result in excessive steering shaft movement, unwanted vibration, and reduced steering precision. This OE Match replacement restores the correct support and alignment of the steering shaft, making it ideal for maintenance, repairs, and classic Porsche restoration projects.
What This Product Does:
- Supports and centres the steering shaft within the steering column.
- Maintains correct steering shaft alignment.
- Reduces unwanted vibration and movement.
- Helps restore precise steering feel.
- Minimises steering column noise.
- Replaces worn or deteriorated original support rings.
- Provides an OE-style fit and dependable operation.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Excessive movement in the steering shaft.
- Steering column vibration.
- Rattles or noises from the steering column.
- Loose or imprecise steering feel.
- Cracked, worn, or hardened support ring.
- Increased steering shaft play during inspection.
- Age-related deterioration of the original component.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The steering shaft support ring is a small but essential component that helps maintain steering shaft stability and alignment. A worn support ring can reduce steering precision, increase vibration, and accelerate wear of other steering column components.
- Replacing a worn support ring restores proper steering shaft support, improves steering feel, and reduces unwanted movement and noise. Manufactured to OE-style specifications, this OE Match replacement provides the correct fit, dependable performance, and long-lasting durability, making it an essential component for maintaining your Porsche's steering system and preserving its original driving characteristics.

OEMatch U Joints and Shafts — Fit, Function, Confidence
Universal joints and steering shafts form the mechanical link between a Porsche’s steering wheel and steering rack, allowing controlled angular movement while preserving steering precision. OEMatch supplies replacement U joints and shafts for Porsche models and catalogues over 4,000 part numbers with more than 8,700 OE cross-references to support repairs, restorations and sympathetic upgrades.
Available Types
- Single and double universal joints for steering linkages
- Intermediate steering shafts with splined or flanged ends
- Complete UJ and shaft assemblies tailored to classic and modern Porsche applications
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
