Our SKF wheel
bearings are only for 1997-2008 Corvettes!
Pfadt Racing is
proud to offer the wheel bearings that are up to the challenge for
your racing Corvette.
Replacing your wheel
bearings two to three times a season is no longer necessary. These
true race quality bearings from SKF solve many of the known issues
with other wheel bearings on the market. These SKF Corvette Racing
hubs offer the same technology as the ZR1 hub for the C5 and C6
Corvette.
Designed for
durability and to maintain preload at sustained loading of 1.2g,
these units were tested and proven on some of the European GT3
Corvettes for an entire race season. Don't settle for a tapered
roller design. Tapered rollers are relatively effective for
handling load, but have high friction and generate heat and rolling
resistance which can lead to premature failure.
SKF Asymmetric -
Roll formed design benefits:
1. High camber
stiffness compared to a symmetric ball design
2. Reduced brake
judder and piston knock-back
3. Roll formed and
self retained without need for a stub shaft
4. Increased
stiffness for better brake performance under high loads, higher
preloads, less than 10 micron run-out on flange face
The SKF hubs offered
by Pfadt Racing have the appropriate speed sensors for 1997-2008
Corvettes. Our hubs eliminate the need for frequent replacement,
reduce long pedal/brake pad knock back, poor pad wear, and reduce
the potential for broken flanges. If you're going to race,
Pfadt/SKF hubs are the only game in town!
Our hubs ship with
high-strength stock length studs. ARP 2 1/2 inch studs are
available for $25 for the set of 5.
In addition, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that when replacing hubs you reinstall with
the proper set of GM hub to upright bolts, as these bolts are one
time use only and should NOT be reused. Please see this product
page for more info, and to add to your order:
