Diagram Ref No 2
Constructed from high-strength steel with precision-machined splines and integrated universal joints, the shaft is designed to withstand constant steering loads, road vibration and demanding driving conditions. Specifically developed for left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles, it ensures correct fitment, smooth steering operation and the precise handling characteristics expected.
What This Product Does:
- Transfers steering input from the steering wheel to the steering rack.
- Maintains precise and responsive steering control.
- Accommodates movement between the steering column and steering rack.
- Reduces vibration transmitted through the steering system.
- Supports smooth steering operation throughout the steering range.
- Maintains accurate steering alignment and driver feedback.
- Contributes to stable vehicle handling and directional control.
- Forms a critical part of the vehicle's steering system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Excessive play in the steering wheel.
- Knocking or clunking noises during steering.
- Stiff or inconsistent steering feel.
- Vibration through the steering wheel.
- Delayed steering response.
- Clicking noises from the steering column area.
- Worn or seized universal joints.
- Steering wheel misalignment.
- Uneven steering effort when cornering.
- Excessive movement detected during steering system inspection.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The intermediate steering shaft is subjected to continuous steering movement, road impacts, vibration and environmental exposure throughout the life of the vehicle. Over time, the universal joints and splined connections can wear or corrode, leading to increased free play, reduced steering precision and unwanted noise.
- A worn steering shaft can affect steering accuracy, reduce driver confidence and place additional stress on the steering rack and steering column components. If left unresolved, continued wear may accelerate damage to related steering components and compromise vehicle handling.
- Replacing a worn intermediate steering shaft restores precise steering response, smooth operation and the direct steering feel intended by Porsche.

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
