aFe Control Rear Adjustable Sway Bar (440-401008RL) - 2020-2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette
Improve rear suspension control and handling balance in your 2020-2026 Chevrolet C8 Corvette with the aFe Control Rear Adjustable Sway Bar. Engineered specifically for the C8's mid-engine platform, this 35mm tubular steel sway bar features three adjustment positions, allowing drivers to fine-tune rear roll resistance for improved cornering performance and vehicle responsiveness.
Constructed from lightweight 1026 DOM steel, the sway bar features precision laser-cut end plates, premium 6061-T6 billet aluminum mounting brackets, and 90A durometer polyurethane bushings. With adjustable stiffness levels up to 160% greater than the factory Z51 rear sway bar, this upgrade provides increased roll resistance for street, autocross, and road course applications.
Improved Rear Suspension Control and Handling Balance
The C8 Corvette's mid-engine configuration provides impressive traction when accelerating out of corners, but the factory suspension can exhibit noticeable body roll and understeer when driven aggressively.
The aFe Control Rear Sway Bar is designed to increase rear roll resistance, helping reduce body roll and allowing drivers to adjust the Corvette's handling balance. Increasing rear sway bar stiffness can help promote rotation through corners and reduce the tendency toward understeer.
Whether you're looking for greater stability on a road course, improved rotation during autocross events, or more responsive handling on winding roads, the adjustable design provides flexibility for different driving conditions.
35mm Rear Sway Bar with 3-Way Adjustment
The aFe Control Rear 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 rear suspension response that best suits their driving preferences.
- Position 1: 600 lbs/in - 100% stiffer than stock Z51
- Position 2: 680 lbs/in - 127% stiffer than stock Z51
- Position 3: 780 lbs/in - 160% stiffer than stock Z51
With up to 160% greater stiffness than the factory Z51 rear sway bar, this upgrade provides a substantial increase in rear roll resistance while allowing the driver to adjust the vehicle's handling characteristics.
Lightweight CNC-Bent 1026 DOM Steel Construction
The rear 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 Laser-Cut Rear Sway Bar Ends
The rear sway bar features CNC laser-cut end plates designed for precise adjustment and consistent suspension operation.
These end plates 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 Rear Sway Bar includes premium CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum rear 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 rear suspension response.
Direct-Fit Installation
Designed specifically for the Chevrolet C8 Corvette, the aFe Control Rear 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.
