A set of 2 front inner tie rod joint forks used in the Porsche 964 steering system. These components sit between the steering rack and the tie rods, transferring the driver’s input directly to the front wheels. By installing both units together, you restore uniform steering response and eliminate inconsistencies that often arise when only one side is replaced - we recommend these should be replaced in pairs.

These forks are essential load-carrying components that:
• Translate steering rack motion into controlled tie rod movement.
• Stabilise the front steering linkage under both normal road use and high-load conditions.
• Maintain the intended Porsche handling characteristics by preventing looseness or wobble in the steering chain.
Replacing both ensures total symmetry and prevents uneven steering feel between left and right sides.
Replacing the inner tie rod joint forks is essential because worn or loose joints can create steering play, reduce handling precision and cause instability during driving. They can also lead to uneven tyre wear and unwanted noises from the front end. Installing a new set restores tight, predictable steering response and helps maintain the safety and performance expected from a Porsche 964.
When to replace (Signs of wear):
• Steering feels loose, vague or delayed
• Knocking or clicking noises from front suspension
• Uneven front tyre wear
• Instability under braking or cornering
• Part of a full suspension or steering overhaul / restoration

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.

This joint fork provides secure connection between the steering rack and the track rod, ensuring proper steering control, precise handling response, and stable geometry under load. It transmits steering input from the rack to the wheels, allowing directional changes to be translated into wheel movement. Built to OEM standards.

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.
With wear, the inner joint can develop play, wear down bushings/joints, or even deform - resulting in loose steering feel, vague steering response, front-end instability and uneven tyre wear. A compromised joint reduces the precision and predictability of steering, which is especially problematic on performance-oriented cars like the 964. Replacing the joint fork restores tight steering linkage, improves handling precision, ensures stable geometry, and maintains safe, predictable steering behaviour. This is particularly important if other steering components (rack, tie rods, suspension) have been renewed or if the car is used spiritedly or on track.
When to replace:
Consider replacing if you observe any of the following:
• Excessive steering play or looseness - vague or delayed steering response.
• Clunking, knocking or clicking noises from the front end when turning or driving over bumps.
• Uneven or rapid tyre wear at the front wheels - indicating alignment or steering geometry issues.
• Front-end instability under load (cornering, braking) or poor steering feel.
• Steering linkage overhaul, suspension refresh or restoration work - replacing inner joints is often part of full steering maintenance.
• If current joint is corroded, damaged or visibly worn.

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
