Are you dreading the installation of the control arm bushings on your C5, C6, or C6Z? Does your car have EVERYTHING...but bushings?
Maybe you do, or don’t, know how to do it, but you’ve heard nothing but how frustrating the replacement process is.

Well, we have a solution.
We have teamed up with Pfadt Racing and arranged a special promotion to offer a control arm bushing replacement service to the Corvette community.
The service is simple, all you'll need to do is remove your control arms, it doesn't take very long, and send them to us. We'll install all of the bushings for you plus whatever options you choose. No more cussing, no more blood and tears, just these fixed prices for parts & installation.

$750 for C5/C6
$850 for C6Z

Options include:
Zerk fittings & installation: $200set
Pfadt Balljoints & installation: $125ea

Pfadt Racing describes the performance benefits & design aspects of their product best.

"The factory bushings are known to deflect more than a ¼ inch in turns which equates to almost 1 degree of lost camber. With our poly bushings that deflection is gone and you’ll make the most of your alignment.
Our poly bushings are graphite impregnated for long life and low friction. They are engineered with special grooves to maintain lubricant on the bearing surface, keeping the noise away. We include lots of lube specific to our polyurethane. In addition, we’ve engineered custom aluminum sleeves for light weight, low friction operation. The front upper pivots are machined with an offset to offer maximum camber adjustment.
Unlike most kits available, the Pfadt kit also includes the lower rear shock mounts, setting it apart from the competition."

*Please note that polyurethane bushings will begin to make noise over time, no matter the brand, and regardless of how much, and what type of grease was used during the installation process. We use a grease originally designed to lubricate mechanical components in a saltwater environment. We believe that it is the longest lasting grease for this type of application. A poly. bushing will make noise sooner than a rubber bushing will. A bushing is considered a wear item. Suspension bushings, whether factory rubber, or a performance poly., were not designed to last forever.

 

 

What are the zert fittings for ? The poly bushings ?

 

Yes, it allows grease to be introduced around the sleeve.

Thanks for asking. I've had several pms about that same thing.

 

That's sounds like a great deal. Has Pfadt come out with the upper ball joints yet ?

 

If they are, I haven't heard yet. The lower one is the one that is subjected to so much heat, the upper is further away from the brake.
