aFe Control Front Adjustable Sway Bar (440-401008FL) - 2020-2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette
Improve front-end handling, reduce body roll, and sharpen steering response in your 2020-2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette with the aFe Control Front Adjustable Sway Bar. Designed specifically for the C8's mid-engine platform, this 35mm tubular steel sway bar features three adjustment positions, allowing drivers to fine-tune front suspension roll resistance for improved cornering performance.
Constructed from lightweight 1026 DOM steel, the sway bar includes CNC-machined ends, premium 6061-T6 billet aluminum mounting brackets, and 90A durometer polyurethane bushings. The complete front sway bar upgrade is proudly made in the USA and installs without vehicle modifications.
Improved Front-End Handling and Steering Response
The mid-engine C8 Corvette delivers impressive traction when accelerating out of corners, but its factory suspension can exhibit noticeable body roll, early to mid-corner understeer, and less responsive steering when pushed hard.
The aFe Control Front Sway Bar is engineered to address these characteristics by increasing front suspension roll resistance. Its adjustable design allows drivers to fine-tune the Corvette's handling response for street driving, autocross, and road course applications.
35mm Front Sway Bar with 3-Way Adjustment
The aFe Control Front Sway Bar measures 35mm (1.375 inches) in diameter and features three adjustment positions. Each setting provides a different level of roll stiffness, allowing drivers to select the front suspension response that best suits their driving preferences.
- Position 1: 720 lbs/in - 50% stiffer than stock Base/Z51
- Position 2: 845 lbs/in - 76% stiffer than stock Base/Z51
- Position 3: 970 lbs/in - 103% stiffer than stock Base/Z51
With up to 103% greater stiffness than the factory Base/Z51 front sway bar, this upgrade provides increased roll resistance to help reduce body roll and improve steering response during corner entry.
Lightweight CNC-Bent 1026 DOM Steel Construction
The front sway bar is manufactured from lightweight tubular 1026 DOM steel for strength and durability. Each aFe Control sway bar is CAD-designed and CNC-bent to strict tolerances to ensure precise vehicle fitment and consistent operation.
A durable blue powder coat finish provides corrosion protection and a distinctive appearance.
Precision CNC-Machined Sway Bar Ends
The front sway bar features CNC-machined ends designed for precise adjustment and consistent suspension operation.
These ends are TIG-welded to the sway bar in a dedicated fixture to ensure accurate adjustment hole positioning and repeatable manufacturing quality.
6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Mounting Brackets
The aFe Control Front Sway Bar includes premium CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum front bushing brackets with a black anodized finish.
Integrated grease fittings allow convenient lubrication and maintenance of the sway bar bushings.
90A Durometer Polyurethane Bushings
Low-deflection 90A durometer polyurethane bushings provide a firm connection between the sway bar and its mounting brackets. These bushings are designed to support consistent sway bar operation and precise front suspension response.
Direct-Fit Installation
Designed specifically for the Chevrolet C8 Corvette, the aFe Control Front Adjustable Sway Bar installs as a direct-fit suspension upgrade without requiring vehicle modifications.
Manufactured in the USA, this sway bar combines adjustable handling performance with precision-engineered components and durable construction.
