Description
Enhance the handling and suspension precision of your 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C5/C6 with the aFe Control PFADT Solid Spherical Control Arm Bearings Set. Designed for track-focused performance, this kit eliminates bushing deflection, improving steering response, tire wear, and overall driving stability.
Factory rubber bushings can deflect by ¼ inch, resulting in camber loss and unpredictable handling. This race-proven solution replaces all 18 control arm bushings with mono-ball spherical joints, providing zero-maintenance, low-friction articulation. The 6061-T6 aluminum bearing housings, 17-4 PH stainless steel shafts, and FK Teflon-lined bearings ensure maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
⚠ Note: This kit is designed for steel-frame Corvettes and is recommended for track or high-performance driving due to increased road noise.
