Performance Gains / Why It’s Needed
When you lower your Porsche 997, the front suspension geometry changes, often creating bump steer. This leads to vague steering, instability, and reduced confidence in corners. By fitting these adjustable tie rod ends, you restore proper geometry, eliminate bump steer, and unlock sharper handling. On track, this means faster turn-in, reduced understeer, and better lap times. On the road, it means precise, confidence-inspiring steering.

FAQs
Q1: What is bump steer and why should I fix it?
Bump steer happens when suspension movement changes steering angles, causing unpredictable handling. Correcting it restores steering precision.

If your Porsche 997 is stock height, bump steer is minimal. These are most beneficial when lowering the ride height for track or spirited driving.
Q3: Can I install these myself?
Yes, with the right tools. However, professional installation and alignment are strongly recommended for best results.
Q4: Are these parts road legal?
Yes, they are safe and suitable for both road and track use.
Q5: How do they affect track performance?
They reduce understeer, improve cornering stability, and make steering more accurate, helping you drive faster with more confidence.
