Will this kit make my Corvette louder inside?

Yes, this kit is considered a race part and will increase road noise compared to stock bushings. It is not recommended for casual street cars and is best suited for dedicated track cars.

What are the main benefits of using spherical bearings over stock bushings?

Spherical bearings eliminate the deflection found in stock rubber bushings. This means your camber stays consistent during hard cornering, leading to sharper steering response, more predictable handling, and reduced tire wear.

Do I need to lubricate these bearings?

No, the bearings are Teflon-lined and manufactured by FK Bearing in the USA. They are designed for zero maintenance and minimal friction.

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.
