I more than agree with you, the real race bits would be superior to any "pinning", but as a NLA and most likely cost prohibitive (on my behalf) I took the only available route. I will still "be in" if I can try to afford it. I'd just sell my "just about new" RS bits to fund the EVO's.

I am interested to see where this goes, even though I actually have the Evo parts in my car

I would keep a set as spares/replacements.

JB 911

Pardon if this is a stupid question, but would these be suitable for any 993, one say with stock uprights at ROW Sport height, or are they more suited to one that is closer to RS height with RS uprights.

Another stupid question.

I am new to 993 parts. I am converting the front end of my 964 track car to 993 uprights I have this single tie rod currently. Since there is a single monoball at the end would I be correct in assuming this is the RS version and not the standard??

There are no stupid questions.

Ok, actually, yes there are. But this isn't one of 'em

We are talking about the inner half of the tie-rods here, hence the upgraded part will work with any outer (stock, RS, RSR/EVO, ERP) tie-rod and/or upright combination.

jdistefa

It is difficult to say without part numbers and a 'lateral' view whether that is a stock ROW inner and outer tie rod or whether they are RS parts. They are certainly not RSR/Gt2/EVO bits, particularly the inner tie rod. I suspect you have a stock setup, but would have to see the degree of bend in the outer tie rod.

Pics below show EVO inner tie rod with RS outer tie rod (lower one in the first picture) and then an example of ERP vs. RS outer tie rods.

Each tie rod, there are 2, one on the left and one on the right, comes in 2 parts
outer and inner


Here is a complete outer inner set for one side, the top one is a standard 993 w/ the rubber inner connection and bent outer to mate to the stock 993 wheel carrier


An after market outer for bump correction w/ a 993RS outer also for bump correction . The aftermarket is adjustable. Both mate to the short arm 993RS wheel carrier


2 inners, the top is the 993Cup/RSR part w/ mono-ball, bottom is stock 993, the 993RS inner would look the same but would have stiffer rubber connection



993RS short arm wheel carrier and RS outer on the left, standard 993 wheel carrier and bent outer on the right. RS mounts beneath the wheel carrier arm, 993 mounts above


the 993 uses a longer tie rod than 964 so if the 993RS or standard parts are used on a 964 they will need to be shortened.

I might be interested, depending on price.

I'm also curious if work could be done to explore building RS uprights

ToSi

in, timeline?

jdistefa

Timeline unknown at this stage but I think "months" is a safe guess. I really hope for early summer. Hence why I want to get a list together NOW and present it to the guys in question asap.

Price, shipping, date.... I just don't know yet.

Just let me know if you're interested.

my 1995 Carrera has a slight issue.

After a hard left or right turn the steering wheel goes off center. It eventually returns back to center but it is odd to be driving with the steering wheel off center after a hard corner even if for only a minute...

Would these tie rods be the answer?

cobalt

It appears I have standard 993 parts. I will try pinning them for now but I am interested in a set. I can upgrade later.

Bill Verburg

The outer tie rod is specific to a wheel carrier
993RS wheel carrier w/ short arm uses the straighter RS outer
standard 993 wheel carrier uses the bent outer

Bill Verburg

Not likely, there is a lot of flexible rubber in the 993 steering
the rack is rubber mounted
the tierods have rubber connections
the suspension components are mounted in rubber
there isn't a lot of caster
there isn't a lot of scrub radius
the wheels and tires are a bit undersized

all contribute to vague on center feel and weak on center return

Bill Verburg

RS wheel carriers are available through any dealer as are the RS tie rods

it's only the Cup/RSR inner tierods that are nla through Porsche Motorsports
