Will this kit increase road noise in my Corvette?

Yes, due to the solid spherical design, you can expect an increase in road noise compared to stock bushings. This kit is recommended for dedicated track cars rather than daily street use.

What are the main benefits of replacing my stock control arm bushings with this kit?

This kit eliminates deflection in the control arm bushings, which helps maintain consistent camber during turns. This leads to more predictable handling, sharper steering response, and reduced tire wear.

What materials are used in the aFe Control PFADT control arm bearing set?

The kit features 6061-T6 aluminum bearing housings with corrosion-resistant anodizing, heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel shafts, and Teflon-lined spherical bearings made by FK Bearing in the USA.

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.
