Detailed Description

The Suspensia X39TA0048 steering tie rod end assembly is a direct-fit steering component for the front of the Porsche 944 in model years 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1986. It is engineered as a regular-grade replacement with a threaded ball joint stud, steel housing, and pre-greased internal construction to support steering linkage service. The included dust boot helps shield the joint, while the locking nut supports proper fastening during replacement. Use X39TA0048 when servicing worn steering linkage components on a Porsche 944 front suspension and steering system.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the front end
• Clunking or knocking from worn tie rod end joints
• Uneven steering response caused by worn linkage components
• Boot damage that exposes the joint to dirt and moisture
• Front steering wear on Porsche 944 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year and front position before installation. Inspect the steering linkage, adjacent boots, and mounting threads for wear or damage before replacing the tie rod end. Because this assembly is pre-greased and not greaseable, no grease fitting is provided. A professional alignment is recommended after steering component replacement to restore correct toe settings.
