This adjustable lever replaces the factory throttle bell crank mounted on the gearbox side, offering a superior alternative.
With an adjustable angle and lever length, you can fine-tune throttle motion for optimal performance and ensure full throttle engagement, when was the last time you checked yours?
Built for precision and smooth operation, it features bronze bushings riding on a machined shoulder bolt, eliminating the factory’s plastic bushings and sloppy cotter pin fit. The difference is noticeable underfoot.
Over the years, the factory has produced numerous bell crank variations, making it difficult to find the correct one—especially with swapped parts. This upgrade replaces them all!
It also enhances throttle response and allows adjustment of low-throttle progression for a more controlled driving experience.

The OE Match ball joint for longer tie rod is a steering linkage component designed for Porsche 356 models produced between 1950 and 1957. This ball joint fits at the end of the longer tie rod assembly (reference 35647306) and allows the steering linkage to pivot smoothly while maintaining a secure mechanical connection.
Sold each, 2 required per vehicle
Fits
Porsche 356 1950 - 1957
Technical Specifications:
• Conus: FI10.7 / FI12.2
• Length: L = 15 mm
• Thread: M14 × 1.5 housing
The ball joint is a critical pivot point within the steering track rod / tie rod system. It connects the tie rod to the steering knuckle, allowing the linkage to move in multiple directions as the wheels turn and the suspension travels.
The OE Match version used with the longer tie rod is manufactured to the original dimensions, including a conical fitment (FI10.7 / FI12.2) and a threaded housing of M14 × 1.5, ensuring correct installation and compatibility with the Porsche 356 steering assembly.
This component is commonly replaced during steering system refurbishment or restoration of classic Porsche 356 vehicles.
The ball joint allows the tie rod to articulate freely while transmitting steering input from the steering gear to the front wheels. It maintains proper steering geometry while allowing suspension movement and wheel travel.
Replacing worn joints restores smooth steering movement and eliminates play in the steering system.
Function
• Steering Linkage Pivot: Allows the tie rod to move in multiple directions
• Wheel Control: Transfers steering input to the steering knuckle
• Alignment Stability: Helps maintain correct steering geometry
• Smooth Operation: Ensures minimal play and consistent steering response
Ball joints in the steering system experience constant movement, load and environmental exposure. Over time they can develop play, corrosion or wear, which may lead to steering looseness, knocking noises and reduced driving precision. Replacing worn ball joints restores proper steering response and ensures the vehicle maintains accurate alignment and safe handling.
Consider replacing the ball joint if you notice:
• Excessive steering play or vague steering response
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension
• Uneven front tyre wear due to misalignment
• Visible wear or damaged protective boot

- Porsche 356 1950-55
Restore the steering precision and integrity of your Porsche 356 with this ball joint, designed for the longer tie rod version. Suited for Porsche 356 models from 1950 to 1957, this ball joint accepts the conus FI10,7 / FI12,2 specification and features a housing thread of M14 × 1.5. Direct-fit for the tie rod end, it provides smooth pivot action, minimal play and dependable steering response. Ideal for restoration projects, returning classic steering geometry to proper specification, or replacing a worn joint.
Fits:
- Porsche 356 1950-55
What This Product Does:
- A ball joint provides a spherical pivot point that allows the tie rod to articulate in multiple directions (as the steering knuckle and linkage move) while maintaining a robust connection.
- In this context, the “longer tie rod” for the 356 uses this ball joint at the end of the tie rod so the linkage can articulate and steer correctly.
- As part of the steering linkage, this ball joint ensures smooth steering movement, correct tie rod/track rod geometry, maintains alignment, and helps transmit steering input to the wheels reliably.
- Because it’s a pivot in the steering linkage, it must minimise play, move freely in all required directions, and handle load (steering forces, road inputs) without excessive wear.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Excessive steering play or looseness, especially front centre or in the tie rod linkage — the ball joint’s socket may have developed excessive clearance.
- Clunking or knocking noises from the front when turning the wheel or when going over bumps — a worn ball joint may allow movement that causes noise. General symptoms of worn ball joints: “Clunking or rattling noise… loose or pulling steering… uneven tire wear”
- Uneven tyre wear, particularly on the front steer tyres — a worn tie-rod ball joint allows alignment to shift under load.
- Steering feel degraded — less precise, vague, perhaps the car doesn’t respond as crisply to steering input.
- On inspection: the joint may show torn boot or weathered/aged rubber, corrosion, play when you physically move the tie rod end and check for movement in the ball joint.
- Because this is a component of the 356’s older steering linkage, age-related wear, corrosion or fatigue are likely.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety & Steering Precision: The ball joint is a critical link in the steering chain of a 356. A failed joint can compromise steering control, alignment and vehicle stability.
- Alignments & Tyre Life: A worn ball joint allows the tie rod geometry to shift as the vehicle is driven, causing misalignment, tyre wear, and steering problems. Replacing it restores correct geometry tolerance and helps retain proper alignment.
- Restoration & Originality: For a classic Porsche 356, fitting a correct part (356 040 008) ensures the steering system is period-correct and reliable — an important factor for value and performance.
- Prevents further damage: If the ball joint is worn, other components (tie rod, track rod, pitman arm, steering knuckle) may be stressed or move unexpectedly, leading to further wear. Proactive replacement avoids cascading issues.

Common Porsche Steering Issues
Even the best-engineered Porsche components
experience wear over time. Common steering problems include:
- Low Power Steering Fluid- A frequent cause of heavy or unresponsive steering. Topping up fluid restores smoothness, but continual loss may indicate a leak.
- Power Steering Leaks - If topping up fluid doesn’t solve the issue, check for leaks. Power steering fluid is usually clear or pink — look for patches under your car when parked.
- Failing Steering Rack Mounts - Modern Porsches use rack-and-pinion systems. When rack bushings wear out, symptoms include - Jerky steering when going over bumps, Inconsistent wheel feel and Clunking, clicking, or popping noises in the column
If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to get your Porsche inspected by a specialist to prevent further damage.
Diagnosing & Replacing Porsche Steering Components
Steering issues are not always easy to diagnose without specialist knowledge. Our advice: book in with a Porsche specialist garage for a full inspection. They can pinpoint whether the issue is with the rack, joints, bushings, or hydraulics.
If replacement is required, our website makes it simple. Select your Porsche model and year, and we’ll filter the catalogue to show only compatible steering spares for your car.
