Hey Dan,
Yes. I believe the track rod replacement (upgrade) will cure about 90% of what you're noticing as you described. The other 10% would be remedied by replacing the main control arm with the RSR monoball (inboard at subframe monoball) main control arm. The upper arms don't really need to be changed, but inspecting them for torn or worn bushings is always a smart practice.

Coming back to this, are 997 RSs similar in having requirements for these parts? I'm trying to contrast how a 7 with similar setup to mine feels in comparison.
Thanks,
Dan

Hey Dan,
It's my findings that all post 1998 Porsche cars are that much better when using upgraded toe links, street or track. Yes, The 996/997 cars all benefit from the spherical bearing equipped upgrades, and it's 1 size fits all.
I haven't looked under a Euro 997RS, I would suspect the stock toe links are the exact same rubber part as the US spec RS and all other 997/996, but can't confirm that for you without seeing them first of course. Often, you guys get the better stuff.

the tarrett links use EXTREMELY expensive, high quality 3-piece rod ends from Aurora. they are the most durable rod ends available. if there are any that will NOT wear out, they are Tarrett.
