Built from steel and engineered to OEM or better fitment standards, the 460-401001-A 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on using factory mounting points, no chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined for consistent, repeatable fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved handling balance, reduced body roll, and enhanced driver feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with factory wheel and tire sizes (verify clearance for larger setups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by aFe Power limited manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1998\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndianapolis 500 Pace Car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001-2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZ06\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2003\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50th Anniversary Edition Pace Car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZ06\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e427 Limited Edition Z06\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2009-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZR1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChevrolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorvette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e427\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e460-401001-A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eaFe Power \/ aFe Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuspension Component\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect bolt-on, OEM hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e802959000380\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaFe Control suspension component (460-401001-A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll required mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill this suspension component require an alignment after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this compatible with other suspension modifications I already have installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protect my powertrain warranty with this upgrade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does installation typically take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this at home or does it require a shop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill this affect my vehicle's ride quality for daily driving?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this product backed by a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eaFe 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.
