Precision-Built Performance Suspension Bushing Set for the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette

The aFe Control suspension bushing set 470-401001-B delivers firmer, more consistent suspension geometry that eliminates the slop and deflection caused by worn or soft factory rubber bushings for the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum and engineered to OEM or better fitment standards, the 470-401001-B installs using factory mounting points with no cutting, welding, or permanent modification to the chassis. Every component is precision-machined and tested to withstand the thermal and mechanical loads of both daily commuting and performance driving, giving you a measurable improvement in handling character the moment you leave the driveway.

Key Features

  • Material: aircraft-grade aluminum construction for strength and corrosion resistance
  • Finish: black anodized for long-term durability
  • Direct bolt-on using factory mounting points, no chassis modification required
  • Precision-machined for consistent, repeatable fitment

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this suspension component require an alignment after installation?

Yes. Any suspension component that affects wheel geometry, including control arms, lowering springs, coilovers, and lift kits, requires a four-wheel alignment after installation. Driving on a significantly out-of-alignment vehicle accelerates tire wear and compromises handling safety.

Is this compatible with other suspension modifications I already have installed?

In most cases, yes. However, with stacked suspension modifications, always verify component clearances and maximum travel ranges. If you are running a combination of lift, aftermarket wheels, and larger tires, consult an alignment specialist familiar with your platform before finalizing the build.

Does the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protect my powertrain warranty with this upgrade?

Yes. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your vehicle warranty solely because you installed aftermarket suspension components. They must demonstrate a direct causal link between the suspension modification and any specific failure they are declining to cover.

How long does installation typically take?

Installation time varies by component type. A strut brace or sway bar end link set can be completed in one to two hours. A full coilover or control arm replacement typically takes four to six hours in a properly equipped shop. Always factor in time for a post-installation alignment.

Can I install this at home or does it require a shop?

Many of these components can be installed at home with standard hand tools and a floor jack and jack stands. Coilovers and control arms require spring compressors or a press for certain steps and benefit from a shop alignment lift. Evaluate your specific toolkit and comfort level before committing to a DIY install.

Will this affect my vehicle's ride quality for daily driving?

Performance suspension upgrades are designed to improve handling precision. Sway bars, control arms, and strut braces stiffen lateral dynamics while leaving ride compliance largely intact. Coilovers and lowering springs will reduce ride height and typically firm the ride relative to factory. The trade-off between sport handling and daily comfort varies by product selection.

Is this product backed by a warranty?

aFe Power provides a limited manufacturer warranty on all suspension products covering defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage does not include damage from improper installation, racing use, off-road impacts, or modification of the components. Contact aFe Power or us for full warranty details.

What if this kit doesn't fit my specific trim or submodel?

Refer to the fitment table above for confirmed compatible year ranges and trim levels. If your specific configuration is not listed, contact us before purchasing. We can verify fitment details with aFe Power to ensure the correct part is ordered.

Installation Overview

  1. Safely raise and support the vehicle on a level surface using proper jack stands under the frame
  2. Remove the wheel for full access to the suspension mounting points if required by your specific component
  3. Take photographs of the factory orientation for all mounting hardware positions before disassembly
  4. Remove factory components in the reverse order of installation, keeping hardware organized
  5. Install the new 470-401001-B in the factory mounting positions, hand-threading all hardware first
  6. Confirm all components are properly seated and aligned before final torquing
  7. Torque all hardware to specification in the correct sequence as specified in the instructions
  8. Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and perform a visual inspection before driving
  9. Schedule a four-wheel alignment at a qualified shop before regular driving
