A Quick Look at TRW

TRW information on this page is based on details supplied by the manufacturer or distributor, plus any OE references provided with the parts.

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where TRW is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons to choose or replace TRW parts include refreshing worn suspension or steering joints, restoring braking performance, and addressing age-related wear without guesswork.
• Common real-world issues in this area include steering play, knocking over bumps, brake vibration, and uneven braking, often linked to worn ball joints or tie rods, seized calipers, old brake fluid, or incorrect installation torque.
• For safety-critical parts such as brakes and steering, watch for symptoms like pulling, vibration, or abnormal noises and investigate before they worsen.
• After any significant steering or suspension work, have the alignment checked and re-confirm torque settings after a short bedding-in period.
• When renewing left/right components such as dampers or control arms, replacing in pairs helps maintain balanced handling and predictable behaviour.
• Use service intervals and visible wear (perishing, leaks, excessive play) as cues for planning preventative replacement rather than waiting for a clear failure.

If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.

Suspension & Axle — Suspension and axle components cover shocks, springs, arms, bushes, and joints that keep your Porsche stable, comfortable, and safe. Replacement is usually driven by wear, knocks over bumps, uneven tyre wear, or a general loss of ride and handling precision.

• After suspension work, plan for an alignment check and road test to confirm there is no remaining play or noise.
• Diagnose knocks and vibration carefully; multiple worn bushes or joints can contribute at once.

Ball Joints — Ball joints are safety-critical pivot points in the suspension that control steering precision and geometry. They are typically replaced when there is play, clunking, vague steering, or uneven tyre wear, restoring stability and confidence under braking and cornering.

• Check associated arms and bushes at the same time; fitting a new joint into a worn arm can be false economy.
• Plan on a wheel alignment after ball joint replacement to keep tyre wear and handling in check.

Shock Absorbers FRONT — Front shock absorbers are changed when damping fades, oil leaks appear, or the car feels floaty, unstable under braking, or unsettled over bumps. Choosing suitable front dampers helps bring back ride control, braking stability, and steering feel on your Porsche.

• Replace front shocks in left/right pairs to avoid uneven behaviour and unpredictable grip under braking.
• Consider renewing top mounts and related hardware if there are noises or high mileage on the existing parts.

Porsche Standard — Standard front suspension options are ideal when you want to retain the original Porsche balance of comfort and control. They are typically chosen during refresh work to keep the car close to factory behaviour rather than moving to a firmer or more focused setup.

• If chasing knocks or poor ride, inspect the full suspension system; issues are not always limited to dampers alone.
• Match standard components with appropriate springs and mounts so the system works as designed.

Special Offer Parts — Special offer parts can help reduce costs when tackling known Porsche wear items or grouped maintenance jobs. They are often used for routine service components or common refresh work, provided the part numbers and fitment details match your specific model.

• Always confirm compatibility by model, year, and specification before buying offer items, as returns can be inconvenient once the car is apart.
• Use offers to plan batches of work—combining service items or wear components can save on repeated labour.
