aFe Control PFADT Series Rear Shock Mount Spherical Bearing Kit for 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C5/C6, Part Number afe460-401005-A

aFe Control is proud to release the PFADT Series Rear Shock Spherical Bearing Kit for the 97-13 Corvette. OE factory shock bushings are soft rubber and know to deteriorate over time. Add in serious track use or a coilover conversion and they are guaranteed to fail. The aFe Control kit replaces the rubber shock bushings with mono-ball spherical joints to eliminate friction and deflection. This high quality kit features 6061-T6 aluminum bearing housings which feature a special Mil-Spec high corrosion resistant anodizing 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 Corvettes suspension. aFe CONTROL PFADT Series Rear Shock Mount Spherical Bearing Kit Chevrolet Corvette (C5/C6) 97-13

The aFe Control PFADT Series Rear Shock Mount Spherical Bearing Kit replaces the soft factory rubber shock bushings used on 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 models. Over time, original bushings can deteriorate, allowing unwanted friction, deflection, and inconsistent suspension movement. These issues can become more pronounced during demanding track use or after converting to coilover suspension.

Designed to maximize rear suspension performance, the aFe Control kit uses mono-ball spherical joints to provide precise shock articulation with reduced deflection. The bearing housings are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a Mil-Spec, high-corrosion-resistant anodized coating. CNC-machined 6061-T6 articulation spacers support accurate installation and reliable operation.

The replaceable spherical bearings are Teflon-lined for low friction and zero routine lubrication maintenance. Manufactured by FK Bearing in the USA, these bearings deliver durable performance for performance driving applications. The kit also includes grooved bushings, zerk fittings, TIG-welded construction, and stainless-steel components. This automotive suspension upgrade is intended for Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 applications from 1997 through 2013; verify the specific vehicle configuration before installation.
