Prekom
Prekom a family run business with passion for steering and suspension parts renovation and manufacturing
The Prekom family passion has always been cars, technology and aiming to do things that we like the most. This little spark was the reason to start with production and renovation of steering and suspension car parts in 1978. Now the second generation in the family is already running the business,
We have always been focused on manufacturing and industrial renovation of aftermarket suspension and steering parts. At first, Prekom had been dealing with a wide variety of car brands, including steering parts for buses, transportation and construction vehicles, but for the last two decades, they are specializing only in stock replacement steering and suspension parts for Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini vehicles. Prekom are OEM to several Porsche parts too.

What This Product Does:
- On torsion-bar rear suspensions, such as those fitted to the 924/944 era Porsches, the spring plate mounts the torsion bar end to the rear axle or body-subframe and helps set ride height and preload of the torsion bar.
- The “adjustable” version means that the plate includes a mechanism (often splined or stepped indexing) that allows the torsion bar end position (and thus ride height / preload / corner balance) to be changed more easily than the stock non-adjustable plate.
- It allows for more precise setting of ride height and corner balancing (especially useful for lowered setups, performance handling upgrades or restoration).
- By maintaining correct torsion bar index and mount condition, the rear suspension geometry remains stable under load, improving handling, ride quality, and tyre wear.
Symptoms & Signs You Might Need This Set:
- Rear ride height is incorrect, uneven (left vs right) or difficult to adjust — especially after replacing torsion bars or springs.
- The rear end feels loose or vague in corners, or geometry seems to shift under load – indicating the torsion bar mount may be compromised or mis-indexed.
- Tyre wear on the rear is uneven or excessive on one side or edge, suggesting rear geometry is not being maintained.
- If you have lowered the car or changed the torsion bars, but still cannot achieve expected ride height or balance without disassembly — an adjustable plate simplifies the task.
- On inspection you may find the original plates are corroded, the indexing marks are worn, bolts seized, or the plate has no adjustment capability.
Why Replacement / Upgrade Matters:
- Improves handling precision: With an adjustable plate you maintain correct ride height and torsion bar preload, which helps the rear suspension respond properly to cornering, braking and load.
- Facilitates setup and tuning: If you’re modified (lowered, wider tyres, stiffer springs) or restoring, an adjustable plate makes ride height correction much easier and more repeatable.
- Restores structural integrity: Older spring plates may be worn, corroded or lacking adjustment — replacing them renews the mount and ensures the torsion bar functions optimally.
- Better tyre wear and alignment retention: Proper indexing and mount condition reduce geometry drift, meaning longer tyre life and better consistent handling.
- Value and restoration: For classic 924/944 models, having correct suspension hardware can increase confidence and resale value.

What This Product Does:
- On a torsion-bar rear suspension setup (as used by these Porsche models), the spring plate is the component that anchors the torsion bar end and transmits its twist into the chassis. The bushings in the plate allow rotation under load while isolating vibration and preventing metal-to-metal contact.
- Over time, the bushings can deform, compress or degrade, which leads to increased movement of the spring plate, changes in ride height or alignment, and poorer handling. The kit replaces this mounting bush to restore proper behavior.
- By installing the fresh bushings, the rear torsion bar and spring plate regain correct movement, maintain ride height, reduce noise and preserve rear suspension geometry under load (cornering, acceleration, braking).
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the rear over bumps or during load transitions, indicating movement in the spring plate or mount.
- Rear sagging or inconsistent ride height, especially on one side — due to bushing collapse or excessive compliance.
- Rear end feels vague or loose in corners, or the suspension doesn’t behave as sharply under load.
- Uneven tyre wear on the rear due to shifting geometry under load.
- On inspection: the spring plate cover hole is no longer concentric around the bar (the bushings have deformed) or you see metal-to-metal contact between plate and cover.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Restores suspension geometry integrity: fresh bushings help the torsion bar and spring plate mount maintain correct positioning, ensuring alignment and ride height are as intended.
- Removes unwanted rear suspension movement: by replacing worn components you regain sharper handling, better driver feedback and improved ride quality.
- Eliminates noise and harshness: degraded bushings can lead to audible knocks, excessive vibration or an imprecise feel — replacing them brings back refinement.
- Supports other suspension upgrades: if you’ve upgraded springs, bars or tyres, having new bushings ensures nothing in the rear mount is holding back performance.
- Prevents secondary wear: when bushings are worn, other rear suspension components carry extra load or misalignment, accelerating their wear; replacing the kit reduces that risk.

Upgrade the front anti-roll bar linkages of your Porsche 964 with this high-performance sports drop link set. Designed specifically for the front left and right sides of the 964 C2 / C4 (1990-94) with the M030 sport suspension, these links feature an 85 Shore rated bushing material for minimal compliance and maximum chassis feedback. The result is improved roll resistance, sharper turn-in, and a more connected steering feel. Ideal for restored, tuned or track-prepped 964s, these direct-fit replacements deliver both performance and durability.
Fits:
- Porsche 964 (911) C2 1989-93
- Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989-93
Diagram Ref No 7
What This Product Does:
- The front drop link connects the front anti-roll (sway) bar to the suspension (often via control arm or strut), transmitting roll forces and enabling the bar to limit body roll during cornering.
- A key role is to ensure that the anti-roll bar engages properly without undue delay or unwanted movement; the drop link is the “lever” that transfers motion.
- With the “85 Shore” version, the bushings (or joint material) are firmer (i.e., higher durometer) than the standard version — meaning less flex or slack in the link under load, so the anti-roll bar responds more directly and the front end remains flatter in corners.
- In practical terms this yields sharper front-end handling, reduced body roll, and a more direct “connected” feel through the steering and chassis.
Symptoms & Signs You Might Need This:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension when going over bumps or through quick directional changes — suggesting the current drop link or its mount is worn.
- Excessive body roll or vague front-end behaviour in corners — the anti-roll bar may not be transmitting load effectively due to flex in the link.
- Uneven handling left vs right — if one drop link side is looser than the other, you might feel asymmetrical behaviour.
- Soft or “mushy” front-end feel, especially if you’ve upgraded other suspension components (lowered car, stiffer springs) and the links are still standard and allowing unwanted movement.
- On inspection: visible sleeve or bushing deterioration, play in the link joints, or rubber flexing significantly under load.
Why This Upgrade Matters:
- The step from standard hardness to 85 Shore gives you a firmer connection in the drop link, meaning the roll bar is engaged more quickly and consistently under load. This is especially beneficial on a car like the 964 with sport suspension or for drivers seeking sharper response.
- It helps preserve and maximise the benefit of other suspension upgrades (e.g., stiffer springs, upgraded shocks, larger tyres) — because the weak link is removed. If the drop link is still soft or worn, the rest of your upgrades may be compromised.
- Better roll-control means more predictable handling, less chassis lean in corners, and improved tyre contact patch maintenance — which improves grip, cornering speed and driver confidence.
- From a maintenance perspective: worn drop links often lead to bushing failure or increased stress on the anti-roll bar and associated mounts. Upgrading proactively can reduce downstream costs and improve longevity.
- For a vehicle with sport heritage (964 C2 / C4) the upgrade aligns with the model’s dynamic capabilities, bringing front-end behaviour closer to tuned-chassis expectation.

- Porsche 928GTS 5.4L 1992-95
Diagram Ref No 17
What This Product Does:
- The eccentric bolt is part of the rear suspension trailing arm / cross-member assembly. It allows for precise adjustment of the rear suspension geometry — typically for camber, toe or longitudinal arm position via the eccentric nature of the bolt.
- Being “eccentric” means the bolt shaft is offset inside its housing so that when the bolt is rotated or repositioned, the trailing arm or mount moves slightly (i.e., the arm moves in or out by a small amount) to allow alignment adjustment.
- It helps set and maintain correct alignment (especially toe and camber) of the rear suspension arms relative to the body and chassis — critical for handling, stability and tyre wear on the 928’s rear suspension.
- When adjusted correctly and properly torqued, the bolt holds the arm or cross-member in its correct location and prevents unwanted movement or geometry shift under load.
Symptoms Of Wear, Mis-Adjustment Or When It Needs Attention:
- The rear alignment is out of specification or cannot be held — especially rear toe or camber that keeps shifting or adjusting.
- Unusual tyre wear on the rear tyres — inner or outer edge wear due to geometry changes under load.
- Rear instability or vague handling — the car may feel less precise, especially in corners or under acceleration/braking, because the arm location isn’t locked down.
- Loose or knocking noises at the rear suspension — if the eccentric bolt or its housing is worn, movement might occur.
- During inspection, you find the eccentric bolt is corroded, seized, has stripped threads, or the slot for adjustment is damaged — making accurate adjustment impossible.
- After a suspension service or arm replacement, the bolt or its seat looks malformed or the previous adjustment marks don’t align — indicates repeat adjustments or wear.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Ensuring the eccentric bolt is in good condition and correctly torqued is fundamental to rear suspension geometry, which directly influences handling, stability, and tyre life especially in a high-performance car like the 928.
- A worn or sloppy adjuster can allow the arm to shift under load — reducing precision, creating instability, and wearing tyres faster.
- In restoration or performance setups (larger tyres, stiffer springs, lowered ride height) the demands on geometry tighten — having a firm, adjustable mount is critical.
- Replacing the bolt or upgrade stiff fixation means alignment stays correct for longer, adjustments are reliable, and the suspension performs as designed.
- From a safety viewpoint, correct alignment and arm location help ensure the vehicle behaves predictably in high-load or hard-cornering scenarios.

Diagram Ref No 7
What This Product Does:
- The reinforcement bar tube sits behind the rear bumper cover and acts as a structural “crash beam” or impact absorber. Its function is to distribute and absorb energy in the event of a rear impact, protecting the bumper cover, rear bodywork and chassis mounting points.
- It also provides structural support to the rear bumper assembly, helping maintain correct alignment and mount positioning of the bumper. For older cars, correct mount and alignment helps reduce looseness or mis-fit in the rear bumper.
- By being in good condition (straight, undamaged, properly mounted), it contributes to the integrity of the rear body shell, ensuring panel fitment, bumper alignment, and the proper load path in case of a collision.
- Essentially: it’s a safety and structure component — not just cosmetic — and is especially important in restorations, body repairs, and when ensuring the car meets structural integrity standards.
Signs Of Wear / Damage & When To Replace:
- The rear bumper appears mis-aligned, sagging, or sits unevenly relative to body panels — indicating the support tube might be bent or mounting points damaged.
- Visible damage: the tube is bent, dented, corroded severely, showing cracks or fatigue — this compromises its ability to absorb impact and maintain structure.
- After a rear-end collision or bumper impact, even if cosmetic damage seems minimal — the reinforcement tube may have absorbed energy or deformed; replacing it restores safety and alignment.
- Rust or corrosion causing weakening of the tube or its mounting brackets—on cars approaching decades of use (964 is now over 30 years old) this is a valid concern.
- Increased looseness of the rear bumper or rear body shell components, or rattles/loose mounts behind the bumper — the reinforcement tube might not be holding the structure rigidly.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety and Crash Performance: Even if you never have a significant rear impact, the reinforcement tube is part of the safety system. A deformed or compromised tube will not perform as intended in an accident, risking more damage or injury.
- Panel Alignment & Fitment: For restoration or high-quality build work, ensuring the rear bumper and body panels mount correctly requires the reinforcement tube to be straight and correct.
- Resale & Condition: A 964 with proper structural components (including undamaged crash beams) is more desirable; replacing a worn/damaged tube helps maintain value.
- Repair Foundation: After any rear damage, replacing or straightening this tube provides a solid foundation before mounting bumper shells, diffusers or other external parts.
- Longevity: With age, even non-crash cars can have tubes that are weakened, corroded or mis-mounted; proactively replacing it ensures the structure remains sound for another several decades.

- Porsche 964 (911) TURBO 3.6L 1991-93
What This Product Does:
- The track-rod assembly transmits steering input from the steering rack/column to the wheels. The inner joint is a critical pivot point enabling the rod to align with changing suspension and steering geometry.
- This inner joint ensures that the steering rack’s motion is translated precisely to the front wheels, without unwanted play or slack in the linkage.
- Because the joint allows articulation yet must resist lateral movement and play, it contributes to steering precision, directness of input, and accurate response of the front wheels.
- A properly functioning inner joint means the front wheels respond accurately to the driver’s steering input and hold correct alignment/tie-rod geometry under load (braking, cornering).
Signs Of Wear Or Failure:
- Steering play or vague steering feel — the front end lacks sharpness, there may be a slight dead-zone or loose feeling at the steering wheel.
- Clunking, knocking or clicking noises from the front end when going over bumps or when turning the steering wheel, indicating excessive movement in the joint.
- Uneven or rapid tyre wear on the front wheels — because the tie-rod geometry is compromised, alignment may drift under load.
- Delayed or imprecise steering response — the car may feel less direct or “mushy” when steering.
- On inspection: visible play in the joint, torn rubber boots, corrosion or visible wear in the fork end.
Why Replacement / Upgrade Matters:
- A worn inner joint undermines the entire steering chain: even if other components (outer rod ends, rack) are new, a weak inner joint will allow slack, reduce precision and degrade response.
- On a Porsche 964, which is performance-oriented and often driven spiritedly, steering feel and precision are key. Replacing this joint ensures the driver retains direct feedback and control.
- Replacement improves safety and long-term reliability: worn joints can lead to much worse outcomes (mis-steering, alignment issues).
- It also maintains value: correctly replacing steering components is important for older collect- and performance cars — a well-maintained steering linkage is viewed positively.
- If the vehicle has been modified (wider tyres, lower suspension, track use), ensuring this inner joint is in good order is essential to getting maximum benefit from those upgrades.

What This Product Does:
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Steering play or slop — a vague or loose feeling in the steering, particularly around straight-ahead or under small inputs.
- Knocking or clicking noise from the front end, especially when going over bumps or during steering movements, indicating the joint is moving where it shouldn’t.
- Front alignment drifting or uneven tyre wear — because the rod end is no longer maintaining correct alignment under load.
- Delayed or imprecise steering response — the front wheels might not change direction as promptly because the linkage has movement built in.
- Inspection shows visible wear or looseness — The joint may have excessive play when physically moved, or the boot might be torn or missing, exposing the internals to dirt or contamination.
- A worn or loose inner track rod joint undermines your front-end suspension geometry and steering accuracy. Replacing with a new correct part ensures the steering system functions as intended, renewing precision and responsiveness.
- On a Porsche 964 (especially C4 or RS models) where handling and driver feedback are key, a tight inner joint helps maintain the connection between driver input and front-wheel behaviour — critical for both everyday driving and spirited use.
- It also reduces the risk of secondary wear: when one joint in the system is loose, other components (tie rods, rack ends, knuckles) may suffer increased stress or wear.
- From a safety and inspection viewpoint, worn rod ends are common failure items during vehicle exams — replacing the inner joint is part of good maintenance.
- If modifications (wider tyres, stiffer suspension, track use) are in place, ensuring all steering joints are in top order preserves the benefit of those upgrades and avoids a “weak link” in the steering chain.

Fits:
- Porsche 356C 1963-65
What This Product Does:
- In a torsion-bar rear suspension setup, the torsion bar acts as the spring. The spring plate is the component that anchors the torsion bar end, holds it in position, and transmits spring loads into the chassis or subframe.
- The adjustable plate allows the torsion bar mounting point’s position or preload to be varied, giving control over ride height and corner balancing without needing major suspension changes.
- Because this version is zinc-plated, it offers improved corrosion resistance compared to untreated plates—helpful given the age of many 356-series cars.
- The “opened type” design, while more exposed, may simplify access for inspection or adjustment, and may reduce the weight or complexity of the cover.
- Overall, the spring plate ensures correct geometry of the rear suspension, maintains consistent ride height, and ensures the torsion bar works within its intended range.
Symptoms & Signs It Might Need Replacement/Upgrade:
- Rear ride height is low, uneven, or difficult to set accurately; the car sits differently on one side or the rear sags.
- Clunking or knocking noises from the rear when going over bumps, especially if the torsion-bar end is shifting in its mount.
- Rear suspension geometry drifting under load — tyres showing unusual wear, or rear end feeling less stable in corners.
- Visible corrosion, fatigue, deformation or play in the spring plate or its mountings; the zinc plating may be pitted, or the plate may be weakened.
- If you’re restoring the car, or have modified the suspension (lowering ride height, wider tyres, upgraded rails), you might need the adjustable feature of the new plate for proper setup.
Why Replacement / Upgrade Matters:
- Given the age of many Porsche 356 C cars, original spring plates may have corrosion, fatigue, or mis-alignment — replacing with a high-quality zinc-plated adjustable type helps restore structural integrity.
- The adjustable function gives flexibility for ride-height tuning and corner balancing, which is especially beneficial when restoring, upgrading, or converting to performance use.
- The zinc-plated finish improves resistance to rust and environmental wear, which contributes to longevity and maintenance-free performance.
- Using a correctly specified spring plate ensures the torsion bar mount behaves as intended, keeps geometry intact, and allows the rear suspension to function with precision. This means better handling, consistent ride height, fewer alignment issues, and longer lasting components.
- In summary, upgrading this small but essential part is a foundational move in a restoration or performance refresh of a classic Porsche torsion-bar rear suspension.

- Porsche 356B 1959-63
What This Product Does:
- In a torsion bar suspension, the torsion bars provide springing by twisting under load, and the spring plate is the mount that anchors and supports the torsion bar end, controls ride height, and maintains alignment of the bar mounting.
- An adjustable spring plate allows for ride-height or corner-balancing changes by indexing or re-positioning the torsion bar mount. The “closed type” design improves durability and sealing of the mounting area.
- The zinc plating adds rust/corrosion protection, especially important in older cars with exposed suspension components.
- By maintaining correct mount geometry, the spring plate ensures that the torsion bar works within its intended range, the rear axle remains located correctly, and the chassis retains its handling characteristics.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear Or Needing Replacement:
- Ride height is inconsistent or cannot be set accurately — e.g., rear is lower or higher than specification, even after index adjustment.
- Rear axle movement, clunks or knocks from the rear suspension when the car is driven over bumps — indicating play in the torsion bar mount or plate.
- The torsion bar mount area shows visible corrosion, fatigue, or deformation of the plate or its mountings.
- Suspension geometry (camber, toe) drifting under load or cornering — because the torsion bar mounting is loose or shifting.
- Difficulty in re-indexing torsion bars or keeping ride height consistent. The adjustable feature may be worn or seized.
Why Replacement / Upgrade Matters:
- On early 356 cars these parts are old and often have corrosion, fatigue, or alignment issues from decades of use and environmental exposure. Replacing the spring plate restores structural integrity.
- An Adjustable + Zinc-Plated + Closed type unit offers several advantages:
- Adjustable for ride height or corner balancing if you’re restoring or modifying the car.
- Zinc plating for corrosion protection extends lifespan.
- Closed type design better seals the mount area, prevents debris ingress and offers improved durability.
- Correct ride height and suspension geometry are critical for handling and tyre lifespan — a compromised spring plate undermines these.
- For restoration projects, retaining or improving original design intent with quality parts is essential for driving feel and value.

Diagram Ref No 7
What This Product Does:
- The front drop link connects the front anti-roll bar (stabiliser bar) to the suspension (typically via a control arm or strut leg). Its function is to transmit roll forces from the wheel/suspension movement into the bar so the bar resists body-roll.
- By upgrading to a drop link with a stiffer (85 Shore) rating, the mount allows less flex and compliance in the drop link’s joints/bushings. That means the stabiliser bar is engaged more directly, the front end stays better controlled under cornering, and the roll-balance between left/right is tighter.
- The result: sharper front-end response, reduced body-roll, improved feedback, and more consistent handling — particularly beneficial for high-performance or track-driven vehicles.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear / Need For Upgrade:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the front end when going over bumps or quick direction changes — indicative of worn link joints/bushings.
- Excessive body roll or vague front-end response — when the drop link allows too much compliance, the stabiliser bar effect is muted and the car may feel less sharp.
- Imbalance in left/right behaviour — one side might feel “softer” than the other, or the car behaves differently when turning left vs right.
- Visual play or degraded bushings — inspection may reveal torn boots, degraded rubber/urethane, or loose link motion.
- You have a modified suspension (e.g., lowered, stiffer springs, bigger tyres) where the factory link/bushings may no longer be sufficient — the upgrade to 85 Shore helps maintain control given the higher loads.
- For performance-oriented use (street+track) the front stabiliser system is critical to controlling body-roll and keeping the chassis balanced. A firm drop link enhances that system.
- The stiffer “85 Shore” version means less unwanted movement, more direct load transfer, and ultimately more predictable handling — the benefit is tangible in spirited driving or track contexts.
- Even for regular road use, replacing worn or softened links improves chassis response, removes front-end vagueness, and helps ensure the suspension behaves as intended by design.
- Upgrading ensures the rest of your suspension upgrades (springs, ARBs, bushes) don’t get held back by a weak link (literally) in the stabiliser system.
- Good maintenance: worn links can prematurely wear adjacent components (bushes, bearings) due to unwanted motion; upgrading pays off in longevity too.

Re-establish the precision and integrity of your Porsche 964’s rear suspension with this premium High-Density Complete Trailing Arm Bushing Kit.
Engineered for both street performance and track readiness, the kit includes high-density rubber bushings, aluminium insert centres, specialised press tools and installation lubricant. By upgrading from standard rubber, you’ll achieve significantly reduced arm deflection (≈ 25% stiffer than OEM), restored alignment stability, improved rear-end control and sharper handling. A complete set per car, this kit is indispensable when you’re refreshing your rear suspension or upgrading to performance-level behaviour.
Fits:

- Porsche 964 (911) TURBO 3.6L 1991-93
What This Product Does:
- The rear trailing arms are essential suspension components that locate the rear axle/wheel assembly longitudinally and laterally under acceleration, braking and cornering. The bushings at the arms' mounts provide pivotal or semi-rigid interfaces with the chassis/subframe.
- Over time, OEM rubber bushings compress, soften, degrade or allow flex, which leads to movement in the trailing arms. That movement can cause instability, alignment changes, tyre wear, and a loss of rear-end precision.
- By installing this HD kit, you tighten up that mounting — the arms stay located exactly where they should under load, geometry is more consistent, compliance is reduced, and the car’s rear suspension behaves more precisely.
- In short: less “slop,” more control. The kit helps maintain proper alignment (camber, toe) under dynamic conditions, improves handling, enhances driver confidence and extends life of related components.
Symptoms & When You Might Need It:
- Clunks or knocking noises from the rear when going over bumps or accelerating — the trailing arm mount may be moving.
- Rear-end instability or “wandering” in corners — the suspension doesn’t feel crisp, the rear moves more than it used to.
- Uneven or accelerated tyre wear on the rear wheels, particularly inner/outer edge — geometry is shifting under load.
- You’ve modified your car (lowering ride height, installing stiffer springs/ARBs, bigger tyres) and the factory bushes are now too soft to maintain control.
- On inspection you notice visible wear/deformation: rubber bushings cracked, compressed, arms have play in their mount.
- Ageing bushings compromise alignment, handling and safety. By upgrading you restore rear suspension behaviour to (or above) the original specification.
- The HD kit ensures the trailing arms remain properly located under load — this means your tyres stay planted, your rear geometry remains correct, and your car remains stable at speed.
- Using superior materials (denser rubber / aluminium centres) helps prevent further deflection, reduces stress on adjacent parts (arms, mounts, subframe) and improves longevity.
- Especially important for performance, track use or modified vehicles: these cars demand tighter suspension behaviour, so upgrading bushings is foundational to making the rest of the system work properly.
- Even for standard road use, replacing worn trailing arm bushes is a high-value maintenance item: better ride quality, fewer odd noises, improved resale value.

Diagram Ref No 24
What This Product Does:
- In the torsion-bar suspension setup of the Porsche 356 C, the spring plate is the mounting interface for the torsion bar (usually at the rear axle). It holds the torsion bar end and its bushings, and anchors it to the chassis or subframe.
- The “opened type” plate may allow easier access for maintenance or re-indexing of the torsion bars (for ride‐height adjustment) or visual inspection.
- A properly manufactured spring plate ensures that the torsion bar is secured, aligned and able to transmit spring loads correctly, maintaining ride height, axle alignment and consistent geometry under load.
- Because the plate is finished black (coated) and designed for direct fit, it also contributes to long life and corrosion resistance — important on older cars which may suffer from rust or fatigue in suspension parts.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear / When Replacement Is Advisable:
- Visible corrosion or fatigue: On a 356 C many years old, the spring plates may be rusted, the mounting bolts corroded, or the plate weakened.
- Ride height irregularities or sagging: If the torsion bar end mount is compromised, the effective spring length or preload may change, causing uneven ride height.
- Poor rear axle location or alignment shifts under load: A failing plate may allow movement, which can lead to axle or alignment issues, excessive tire wear, or vague handling.
- Noisy rear suspension or clunks: If the bushings or torsion bar end shift within the plate, you may hear knocking over bumps.
- Difficulty adjusting torsion bars/riding height: If the plate is damaged or seized, re‐indexing or maintenance becomes harder.
- Maintaining chassis integrity: On a classic 356, the rear torsion bar and spring plate form part of the suspension’s backbone. A compromised plate undermines everything else.
- Restores original ride and handling behaviour: With a correct spring plate, the torsion bar mount is secure and geometry remains stable.
- Supports further modifications or restoration: If you’re restoring the car, refreshing the spring plates ensures the setup is built on a solid foundation.
- Improves longevity and resale value: Using correct or upgraded parts (like correct close tolerances, correct finish) is viewed positively in restoration circles.
- Corrosion protection: The “black / opened type” finish may provide better protection compared to untreated plates—important for longevity.

What This Product Does:
- The wheel carrier bush is installed at the interface between the wheel carrier / hub carrier assembly and the vehicle’s rear suspension or subframe mount. Its role is to control movement, absorb some vibrations/loads, and provide a stable mounting point for the carrier.
- By using a stiffer compound (85 Shore vs standard 65 Shore), the mount allows less compliance, meaning the wheel carrier remains more tightly located under loads (cornering, acceleration, braking), which in turn helps maintain alignment (camber, toe, etc.) and improves handling precision.
- In effect: it helps keep the rear wheels more accurately positioned relative to the chassis during dynamic driving rather than letting the carrier mount deflect under load, which can degrade handling or tyre wear.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear Or Need For Upgrade:
- Clunks, knocks or banging noises from the rear suspension or wheel carrier area, especially when going over bumps or during heavy cornering.
- Rear-end instability or vague handling, such as the rear stepping out, feeling loose or less composed when pushed hard.
- Uneven or accelerated tyre wear on the rear tyres, especially on the shoulder or edge, due to alignment shifting under load.
- Suspension modifications: If the car has been lowered, fitted with stiffer springs/anti-roll bars, or used in performance/track settings, the standard 65 Shore bush may be too soft — you might see more deflection than ideal. The 85 Shore version offers firmer control.
- Visible deterioration of the original bush: cracked or collapsing rubber, looseness of the bush in its bracket, or excessive movement of the carrier when tested.
- Upgrading to the 85 Shore version helps restore or improve rear suspension precision, especially for performance or track-oriented driving.
- It reduces unwanted movement of the wheel carrier under dynamic loads, which results in better alignment retention, sharper handling, and longer tyre life.
- For vehicles still using the softer 65 Shore bushing, if they are used aggressively or have upgraded suspension components, the softer bush might compromise handling by allowing too much flex; hence the firmer 85 Shore version is a smart step.
- It supports the rest of your suspension upgrades: if you’ve improved springs, bushings, sway bars etc., using a firmer bush at the carrier mount ensures nothing is held back by a soft mounting point.
- Even for road use, replacing worn bushes prevents drift in alignment settings, reduces rear-end noise/vibration, and helps maintain the driving experience.

What This Product Does:
- In the rear suspension of the 997, the wheel carrier/hub assembly is mounted to the suspension linkages / knuckle, and the bush or bushing at the mounting point provides isolation and alignment.
- The wheel carrier bush acts as the mounting interface, helping absorb road shocks, reduce noise/vibration, and maintain correct geometry of the wheel carrier relative to the vehicle’s chassis/subframe.
- With a correct hardness (65 Shore in this case), the bush gives the proper balance between compliant behaviour (for comfort and longevity) and firmness (for alignment stability and handling precision).
- Replacing a degraded bush ensures the wheel carrier remains correctly located and aligned, avoiding excess movement under load which can degrade handling, alignment, or tyre wear.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear/Need For Replacement:
- Clunking or knocking noises from the rear when going over bumps, especially from the area of the wheel carrier/hub.
- Rear instability or vague handling: the rear may feel loose, or alignment may shift unexpectedly under load (cornering, acceleration, braking).
- Uneven or accelerated tyre wear on the rear wheels — particularly inner or outer edge wear — due to geometry shift caused by excessive carrier movement.
- Vibration or poor noise/vibration/harshness levels at the rear, especially after installation of new tyres, alignment, or suspension components.
- Visible deterioration of the bushing: cracks, splits, collapse, or the rubber is soft/loopy when compared to new; or the bushing may be loose in its housing/unseated.
- Replacing worn wheel carrier bushes helps restore the correct behaviour of the rear suspension: the carrier remains securely located, alignment remains stable, and the car handles as it should.
- Because the 65 Shore rating matches the OEM street compound, you maintain the intended balance between comfort and performance. If the bushing is too soft (worn or degraded), you lose alignment stability; if one upgrades to a much stiffer bush without considering other suspension components, you may introduce unwanted harshness.
- For owners of the 997 especially with upgraded suspension, stronger tyres, or high-performance use, making sure the wheel carrier bushes are in good condition is foundational — worn bushes can compromise the benefit of other suspension upgrades.
- Good bushing condition contributes to longer tyre life, better alignment retention, reduced rear suspension noise, and more confident handling under all conditions.
- For a car of that age (2005-10 era), rubber parts will naturally age, degrade, and a proactive replacement is good maintenance rather than waiting for failure.

Fits On To Diagram Ref No 1
What This Product Does:
- The rear trailing arms are crucial suspension links that control the longitudinal and lateral movement of the wheel and axle under acceleration, braking and cornering. The bushing kit equips those arms with a firmer mount point.
- By replacing softer, compliant bushings with high-density or monoball bearings, the kit significantly reduces unwanted flex, thus helping keep alignment (camber, toe) and suspension geometry more consistent under load.
- The monoball design also offers sharper feedback and quicker response because there’s less rubber compliance absorbing movement or introducing play.
Symptoms & Signs You Might Need This Kit:
- Rear end feels loose or vague during hard cornering — you might sense the rear “shifts” or the car doesn’t hold as well as you remember.
- Uneven tyre wear on the rear, particularly inner or outer edge, from geometry changing under load.
- You hear clunks, knocks or feel unusual movement from the rear suspension over bumps.
- The car has been modified (widened tyres, lowered ride height, stiffer springs) and the stock bushings seem too soft or have excessive deflection.
- Upon inspection the original bushings are greatly worn, cracked, or collapsed — especially if you’re using the car for more than just gentle street use.
Why Replacement / Upgrade Matters:
- Using this race-version monoball kit restores control and precision in the rear suspension — especially important for performance or track-oriented use.
- It helps the trailing arms maintain their designed position and geometry, thus improving stability, cornering behaviour and driver confidence.
- Because the monoball is so much firmer than rubber, it reduces suspension “slop” and ensures components behave consistently under dynamic loads.
- Even for non-track use, replacing worn bushings with a higher quality solution can rejuvenate the handling of the car and make it feel fresher.
- For a 964 that’s been modified or simply aging, this kit is a foundational improvement to let the rest of the suspension upgrades work as intended.

Diagram Ref No 15
What This Product Does:
- The guide tube keeps the shift rod / linkage properly aligned, housed, and supported as it transmits motion from the driver’s shift lever to the gearbox internals.
- It prevents the shift rod from bending, mis-aligning or vibrating excessively, which can degrade shift feel or cause mis-engagements.
- A well-fitting guide tube ensures smooth, precise gear changes with minimal slack or bind, contributing to the crisp manual-gearbox feel that many Porsche enthusiasts seek.
Symptoms & Signs Of Wear / Failure:
- Gear shifts feel sloppy or misaligned — the lever has excessive travel or ambiguous engagement.
- Shift linkage noise, rattles or vibration coming from the tunnel / gearbox area due to looseness in the tube or linkage.
- Harder or imprecise gear changes, especially under load or rapid shifts, because the linkage path isn’t firm.
- Visual signs: the tube may be bent, the mountings worn, bushings or bearings inside the tube may be degraded.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Replacing with a new unit ensures the shift linkage remains tight, delivering the precise feel and reliability associated with Porsche manual gearboxes.
- Especially in older vehicles or those modified for performance, the original tube may have suffered from play or wear; replacing it prevents-related issues like sloppy shifts, mis-alignment and accelerated linkage wear.
- The shift-feel of a Porsche manual transmission is part of the driving experience—ensuring the path of shift motion is clean, direct and stable helps retain that.
- Prevents additional wear on the shift rod, guide bearings, bracket or gearbox selector mechanism—if the tube is loose or misaligned, other parts may wear prematurely.
