aFe Control PFADT Series Solid Spherical Control Arm Bearing Set

If you're a proud owner of a 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, it's time to upgrade your suspension with the aFe Control PFADT Series Solid Spherical Control Arm Bearing Set (part number 460-401001-A). This set is engineered specifically for both the C5 and C6 models, providing a robust solution to the common issues faced with OEM factory bushings.

Why Upgrade?

OEM bushings are notorious for deflecting over a quarter inch during aggressive cornering, leading to nearly 1 degree of lost camber and unpredictable handling. This can severely impact your lap times and overall driving experience. The aFe Control kit replaces all 18 control arm bushings with high-performance mono-ball spherical joints, eliminating deflection and friction. The result? Sharper steering response, consistent camber, and less tire wear—perfect for those who take their Corvettes to the track.

Key Features

  • Replaces all 18 control arm bushings with mono-ball, spherical joints
  • Eliminates bushing deflection for improved handling
  • Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum with Mil-Spec high corrosion resistant anodizing
  • CNC machined heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel shafts
  • CNC machined 6061-T6 articulation spacers for enhanced performance
  • Includes over 108 components for maximum articulation
  • Easy installation into OEM control arms—no machining or welding required
  • Replaceable FK bearings are Teflon lined for minimal friction and maintenance-free operation
  • Designed for dedicated track cars; not recommended for casual street driving

Customer Feedback

Corvette owners who've made the switch report significant improvements in handling. One C6 owner noted, “After installing the aFe spherical bearings, my car feels like it’s on rails. The steering is so much more responsive, and I can push harder in the corners without worrying about losing grip.”

Whether you're hitting the track or just want to enhance your Corvette's performance, the aFe Control PFADT Series Solid Spherical Control Arm Bearing Set is the upgrade you need. Get ready for a more connected driving experience that brings out the best in your C5 or C6 Corvette.
