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.

The OE Match track rod inner joint is a steering system component designed for Porsche 964 Carrera 4 and 964 RS models. This joint sits at the inner end of the tie rod (track rod) where it connects to the steering rack, forming a crucial pivot point within the steering linkage
Sold individually, we recommend these should be replaced in pairs
Fits:
Porsche 964 C4 1989 - 1994

Diagram Ref No 3.
The track rod inner joint is part of the steering linkage assembly that connects the steering rack to the front wheel hubs through the tie rods. Each steering rack uses two track rods, each terminating in replaceable joints that allow the linkage to articulate while transmitting steering input.
The OE Match version is designed to match the original Porsche component used on 964 Carrera 4 and RS models. It provides the necessary articulation between the steering rack and tie rod, ensuring precise steering geometry and smooth movement of the front wheels.
The inner track rod joint allows the steering linkage to pivot while transferring movement from the steering rack to the tie rod and ultimately to the front wheels. This articulation allows the steering system to function smoothly while accommodating suspension movement.
Replacing worn inner joints restores steering precision and eliminates unwanted play within the steering system.
Function
• Steering Linkage Pivot: Connects the tie rod to the steering rack
• Wheel Control: Transfers steering input to the front suspension
• Articulation: Allows movement of steering components during suspension travel
• Handling Stability: Maintains precise steering response and alignment
Track rod joints are subject to constant steering movement, road shocks and environmental exposure. Over time they can develop play or wear, leading to vague steering, poor handling or uneven tyre wear. Replacing worn joints restores accurate steering response and ensures the vehicle maintains proper alignment and road stability.
Consider replacing the inner track rod joint if you notice:
• Excessive steering play
• Knocking or clunking from the steering system
• Uneven front tyre wear
• Steering instability during driving

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
