Description
aFe CONTROL PFADT Series Rear Shock Mount Spherical Bearing Kit – 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette (C5/C6) improve control of spring and wheel movement during braking, acceleration, cornering and rough-surface inputs. This listing is built around aFe POWER part number 460-401005-A for the 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette (C5/C6).
Damping controls the rate of suspension movement. It works with—not in place of—the spring. Better damper control can reduce oscillation and keep the tire more consistently loaded as the surface changes.
What This Means on the Car
For performance driving, a damper that controls movement without unnecessarily locking the suspension down generally produces more grip and confidence than one that is simply very stiff.
Fitment & Part Numbers
Application: 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette (C5/C6)
aFe POWER part number: 460-401005-A
Fitment can differ by engine, drivetrain, trim, factory equipment, emissions configuration and production date. Match the part number above to the vehicle before installation; where aFe publishes SKU-specific installation or emissions requirements, those requirements take precedence.
Legacy Racing Enthusiast Perspective
We prioritize usable travel and controlled response. The correct shock length and application matter, particularly on lifted, lowered or off-road vehicles where the suspension operates outside factory ride height. On the 1997–2013 Chevrolet Corvette (C5/C6), we would make the purchase decision around the limitation this component addresses and how it fits with the car's current and planned modifications.
