Will this kit increase road noise in my Corvette?

Yes, aFe Control states that due to the nature of this race part, there is an increase in road noise. It is not recommended for casual street cars and is best suited for dedicated track cars.

What are the main benefits of replacing the stock bushings?

Replacing the stock rubber bushings with these solid spherical joints eliminates deflection, which helps maintain consistent camber during turns. This leads to more predictable handling, sharper steering response, and potentially reduced tire wear.

Do I need to lubricate these spherical bearings?

No, the Teflon-lined spherical bearings used in this kit are designed for zero maintenance and minimal friction. They do not require lubrication.

Product Details

aFe Control is proud to release the PFADT Series, Solid Spherical Control Arm Bearing Set for the 97-13 Corvette. OE factory bushings are known to deflect more than a ¼ inch in turns which equates to almost 1 degree of lost camber and unpredictable handling. Serious racers finally have an engineered solution for solid spherical control arm bearings. The elimination of bushing deflection has a number of benefits. The camber required is reduced because no camber c hange is seen from bushing deflection, resulting in more consistent lap times and a reduction in tire wear. Steering response is greatly improved and becomes sharp, crisp and predictable in all situations. The aFe Control kit replaces all 18 control arm bushings with mono-ball, spherical joints to e liminate friction and deflection. With 108 total components this high quality kit features 6061-T6 aluminum bearing housings which feature a special, Mil spec high corrosion resistant anodizing, CNC machined heat treated 17-4 PH stainless steel shafts, and CNC machined 6061-T6 articulation spacers. The replaceable bearings are Teflon lined for minimum friction, zero maintenance and are manufactured by FK bearing in the USA. This kit is designed to maximize the performance of your race car suspension. Due to the nature of this race part there is an increase in road noise, therefore we do not re commend this for the casual street car and is highly recommended for dedicated track cars.
