CORVETTE FRT S/B KIT 30M M 97-06

The Prothane CORVETTE FRT S/B KIT 30M M 97-06 is a polyurethane front sway bar bushing kit engineered for Chevrolet Corvette models spanning 1997 to 2006. As a chassis upgrade, this component replaces worn OEM rubber bushings that deteriorate under heat, age, and repeated cornering loads—a common failure point on C5 generation Corvettes. Enthusiasts and performance-focused owners choose polyurethane bushing kits to restore or enhance suspension responsiveness and eliminate the vague, disconnected handling that characterizes degraded factory bushings.

This kit features a 30 mm diameter sway bar specification with red polyurethane construction, a material choice that offers superior durability compared to rubber while maintaining acceptable NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) characteristics. Polyurethane bushings resist cracking, UV degradation, and fluid saturation far better than OEM rubber, and they provide tighter compliance tolerances—meaning less deflection under lateral load. The pair configuration covers both driver and passenger sides of the front sway bar assembly, enabling balanced suspension geometry and predictable weight transfer during aggressive cornering or track driving.

Owners restoring C5 Corvette suspension performance—whether addressing a sagging, unresponsive chassis or building a comprehensive handling upgrade—benefit most from this direct-fit kit. Installation requires basic mechanical skill and suspension familiarity; the bushings press into the OEM sway bar and mounting brackets without modification to core suspension geometry. Results include noticeably improved turn-in response, reduced body roll, and restored connection between steering input and chassis feedback. This upgrade pairs well with other polyurethane bushing replacements throughout the front suspension for maximum effect.
