One of the options that is still added to more than half of all Corvettes produced is the E60 Front Lift System which allows drivers to raise the front end of the car a couple of inches to clear driveways and speedbumps without damaging their front splitter.
In 2024, there were 23,084 Corvettes built with the E60 representing 53.8% of all Corvettes produced in 2024. However, when you consider that the Front Lift option adds $2,595 to the build, it’s clear that Corvette owners understand its purpose with many adding it so “they won’t be sorry later” when they need it. And frankly, it’s an option that everyone would find benefit from having at some point during their ownership experience.
We’re bringing this up as Chevrolet has just issued a new Technical Service Bulletin (#N242484110) for 2025 Corvettes over contamination in the Front Lift system. If you’re 2025 Corvette is experiencing front lift issues, it could be time for a visit to your local Chevrolet dealer’s service department.
GM says certain vehicles from 2025 may have debris inside the front lift system, and the corrective action by technicians is to flush the system and replace the two front shock absorbers. The time for repair is nearly five hours for this fix.
Thanks to our friends at the MidEngineCorvetteForum, we have the actual steps used by technicians to perform the flush and replacement of the two shocks:
Back in the early days of the C8 Corvette’s rollout, we visited the East Coast Reveal of the 2020 Corvette at Kerbeck (now Ciocca) and captured one of the very first videos of the front lift in action:

That’s the one option I refused to purchase because I didn’t think it added $2.5K in value to the car. I have a 2021 and have no scraps and no regrets. I had a C5 and a C7 that scraped coming out of my driveway. The C8 naturally sits higher than those two models, as the C8 doesn’t scrape.
Can buy a lot of splitters for that amount of $s
For $3,000, I’d rather have an option for safari-style ride height–eliminating the need for a front lift altogether.
How do you know if your 2025 is affected???
I have a 2021 C8 that had lift system problems. The dealership could not figure it out over a 8 month timeframe. In the end I read a post on a Corvette forum page that a dealership mechanic made in Oklahoma that found the shock absorber and it’s electronics on one side was bad and after replacing it fixed the problem. When I discussed it with the dealership they said it could not be the problem. Two more months of frustration they finally sent a master technician from Bowling Green to look into the problem and he found it was infact the shock and the electronic components was bad. They replaced it and it has been flawless since. It’s about time they issue a service bulletin.
