Details
Core 4x4's Crawl Series 4-piece rear control arm set replaces all four worn factory stamped-steel arms on the Cadillac Escalade (2002–2006). The factory arms use soft rubber bushings and a fixed length, so there's no way to re-align the rear axle or correct pinion angle after a lift or leveling kit. These Core 4x4 arms are a serious step up: DOM steel tubing and Rock Jock Johnny Joints at both ends of every arm for maximum articulation, with adjustable length to set rear axle alignment and pinion angle back to spec.
Includes: Rear upper control arms (pair) and rear lower control arms (pair); mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers).
Specs:
- Upper arms — 1.5 in. o.d. × 5/16 in. wall DOM steel
- Lower arms — 1.75 in. o.d. × 5/16 in. wall DOM steel
- Joints — Rock Jock Johnny Joints, both ends (every arm)
- Adjustable length — for rear-axle alignment and pinion-angle correction
- Lift range — 0–6 in. and up
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty — bend it or break it, we'll replace it
- Wear items (bushings, joints) — covered for 18 months
Suspension Type — Factory Autoride (Z55): Chances are, your truck came with rear Autoride (Z55) from the factory — GM's air-leveling system. This part is built to match: the ride-height sensor mounting tab is included on both rear upper arms, so your factory sensors bolt right back on. Converted to coil springs — or never had air ride at all? No problem — everything fits and works exactly the same; the sensor tabs just go unused.
Notes:
- Hardware is included with your arms. If you ever need replacements down the road, the matching kit is available separately.
- Running a lift? The 5-piece rear kit (CRL-G-800-ESC-RK5-Z55) adds the adjustable track bar to recenter the axle side-to-side.
Parts:
- Upper forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint, right-hand — CE-9112N-22 (1 per upper arm, 2 for the upper pair).
- Upper forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint, left-hand — CE-9112NL-22 (1 per upper arm, 2 for the upper pair).
- Lower forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint, right-hand — CE-9114 (1 per lower arm, 2 for the lower pair).
- Lower forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint, left-hand — CE-9114L (1 per lower arm, 2 for the lower pair).
- Replacement hardware kit — CRL-G-800-RS4-HWK.
Fits:
- Chevy Tahoe (2000–2006)
- Chevy Suburban 1500 (2000–2006)
- Chevy Avalanche 1500 (2002–2006)
- GMC Yukon / Yukon XL 1500 (2000–2006)
- GMC Yukon Denali / XL Denali (2001–2006)
- Cadillac Escalade / ESV / EXT (2002–2006)

Ordered a set of Core 4x4 control arms for my 2006 Jeep TJ. These are some heavy duty quality control arms. Can't wait to get them installed. Great customer service too!

Very beefy items for a very reasonable price. Personally have CORE rear track bar and all upper control arms for my 04 Jeep TJ. Had a slight issue with control arm length and they went above and beyond to swap jam nuts to get me where I needed to be. Really have to appreciate a company like this.

upper control arms look great and went on easy.. only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because of a shipping issue which put my build a week behind. The issue was resolved quickly and painlessly, great customer service. Only time will tell how control arms perform but they look great and like they will go above and beyond control arm demand.

I have recently come to know Core 4x4 when I purchased a Jeep XJ and was looking for a place that had dedicated XJ suspension and components. Here is what makes them different than most other shops. All of their components are top shelf quality and they back it up if you break any of it. I was able to see their shop when I picked up an order locally and was impressed with their attention to detail and how they assemble and powder coat each part. I had an issue with a shackle and needed the threaded shaft to be shorter. I called in and talked to Kaden and he told me to come by and they would shorten it for me. When I got there, Kaden and Spencer (the owner) met me and talked about options and proceeded to make the right adjustments to fit my XJ. Told me if anything changes in the future and I need additional length, they would take care of me. So what really sets them apart from others is their Customer Service. Try calling in to any other Jeep suspension or part shop and see how they treat you. Been there - done that.
Will continue to do business with Core and their team. Getting that kind of service for just a shackle has me thinking I may need to replace my JT components with Core's. Thanks Guys for being helpful good humans!

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ.
Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)

Small business, family owned, made in the USA, lifetime warranty. Purchased Tier 3 control arms and rear track bar for a 2006 Jeep LJ. Simple website and easy to contact over phone and email. I had some technical questions and they were happy to answer them. They allow local pickup and were built to order same week. The order was wrapped and ready when I walked in and even gave a tour of the shop. They abrasive blast all raw materials to achieve a better surface profile for powdercoat to adhere and create a smooth, durable finish. I also noticed several CNC machines and a robotic welder they use for all their parts. A small outfit with a robotic welder? Their concern for quality is obvious and it shows in the parts they make. Very impressed. Happy to do business with these guys.

I recently ordered a set of control arms from Core 4x4, and the entire experience was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. The ordering process was smooth, the parts arrived quickly, and the control arms themselves are extremely high quality—solid construction, great finish, and clearly built to last.
I also want to give a special shout-out to Korby, the guy I spoke with during the process. His customer service was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I needed, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience stress-free. You don’t see service like that very often these days.
If you’re looking for high-quality suspension components backed by truly exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Core 4x4. I’ll definitely be buying from them again.

I purchased upper and lower adjustable arms for my WJ and lowers were missing the spacers. I didn't know until 3 months later when I was installing them. With absolutely zero hassles they quickly sent me the missing spacers. Fantastic product and service! Huge thank you guys for the awesome service and parts!!! Customer service is quickly becoming a lost commodity and you guys gave me hope that it's still alive and well, you just have to buy from the right people... Thanks again for going above and beyond! 👍👍

I contacted these guys on a Saturday through email and needed some control arms by the following weekend, Spence got back with me and told me he would make sure the order got shipped out on Monday, they got busy and wasn’t able to ship the package out so he got back with me that evening and upgraded my shipping for free and shipped out the next day, only because he told me he’d make sure I’d have them by the weekend! This company sticks to their word! The customer service from these guys are unmatched and they will have another lifetime customer here!
