If you have upgraded your Corvette’s performance, you will want these SKF front and rear racing hubs. The 1997-2010 Corvette SKF Heavy Duty Wheel Bearing Assemblies are designed to provide high stiffness during cornering, thereby reducing piston knock-back and the need to tap your Corvette’s brakes. They are also designed for durability and to maintain preload at sustained loading of 1.2g! All this adds up to faster lap times with much better driver feedback over stock and other aftermarket C5 & C6 Corvette wheel bearings.

With our SKF Corvette Wheel Bearing Assemblies you gain:

  • Better brake performance under high loads
  • Higher preloads
  • Better handling
  • Increased hub durability
  • A compact unit with less than 10 microns of run-out

New C5 Corvette Upper & lower Ball Joints

May 7th, 2009

At Zip we strive to satisfy our customers’ every needs when it comes to buying Corvette Parts & Accessories. One of our most important customer service goals is to be sure we have the most up to date inventory in the Corvette Parts market. By adding parts literally every day to our forever growing inventory, Zip is able to offer one of the largest selections of restoration and performance Corvette Parts in the world.

One of the most recent additions to Zip’s inventory includes C5 Corvette upper & lower ball joints. For years they have not been available, but now you can buy them through Zip. Before, if your Corvettes suspension became loose, causing inconsistent handling and/or aggressive tire wear you could only purchase a whole new control arm with the ball joints already installed. The problem here is that a complete control arm replacement with labor could run well above $1000. Today, new Corvette ball joints are $59-$72. These ball joints, exclusive to Zip Corvette, are direct replacements for the factory Corvette ball joints and could be the solution to a faulty suspension.
