Track Rod. Porsche 924 / 924GT / 944 1976-88  ❭  94434703307

Track Rod, Manual Steering.
The track rod—also known as the tie rod—is a crucial steering linkage component connecting the steering rack to the wheel hub, transferring your steering input precisely to the wheels.

What This Product Does:

• Transmit Steering Input - When you turn the steering wheel, the steering rack moves. The track rod carries that motion to the wheel knuckle, causing the wheels to turn.
• Maintain Alignment & Geometry - It helps maintain front-end alignment (toe settings) so tires wear evenly and steering remains precise.
  
• Compensate for Suspension Movement - As the suspension moves up/down (bumps, cornering), the track rod must maintain its connection and angle without binding or excessive play.
  
• Absorb Minor Deflection - It must be stiff, but slightly forgiving to absorb small impacts or vibrations — not rigid.
  
  

Symptoms / Signs Of Wear Or Failure:

• Excess play / looseness in steering — the steering wheel feels “loose” or delayed.
  
• Knock / clunk noises from front end during bumps or over uneven road surfaces.
  
• Uneven or accelerated tire wear, especially inner or outer edges.
  
• Steering pulling — the car tends to drift or pull to one side.
  
• Variable steering feel — sometimes stiff, sometimes loose — depending on direction or motion.
  
• Excessive vibration or shimmy in the front wheels.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters:

• Safety & Control - A loose or failing track rod compromises steering precision. That can reduce driver control, especially at higher speeds — a serious safety hazard.
  
• Prevents Further Damage - A worn track rod transmits irregular forces to the steering rack, knuckles, and wheel bearings, accelerating wear on those components.
  
• Restores Alignment Integrity - A good track rod lets alignment settings (toe, camber) hold correctly; a bad one causes alignment to drift.
  
• Better Tire Life - Proper steering geometry means more even tire contact and less edge wear, saving you money on new tires.
  
• Drivability & Feel - Restoring tight, responsive steering ensures the car feels solid, controlled, and responsive — not vague.
