Optimize Pinion Angle and Maximize Drivetrain Efficiency

Upgrade your Toyota 4Runner’s rear suspension with the Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms, engineered for precise axle positioning, improved handling, and drivetrain vibration reduction. Designed for model years 2003-Present, these fully adjustable control arms allow for proper pinion angle correction, reducing driveline vibrations while optimizing rear suspension performance.

What’s Included in the Kit?

  • Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-03-RU2)

Key Features and Benefits

  • Precision Pinion Angle Adjustment – Corrects driveline geometry, reducing driveline vibrations and optimizing rear axle alignment.
  • Full Axle Control When Paired with Rear Lower Control Arms – Combine with Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-03-RL2) for complete control over axle positioning, ensuring proper articulation and alignment.
  • Adjustability for a Perfect Fit – Designed for 0 to 6-inch lifts, allowing for axle recentering and optimized suspension geometry.
  • Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for a smoother ride and longer-lasting durability.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Fabricated from robust steel tubing, ensuring maximum strength and off-road durability.

Pinion Angle Correction for Reduced Driveline Vibrations

Lifting your vehicle alters the rear pinion angle, often leading to increased driveline vibrations and excessive wear on the U-joints. The Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms allow precise pinion angle adjustments, minimizing unwanted vibration and ensuring optimal drivetrain efficiency.

Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Durability

Each Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arm undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability: Zinc primer base coat – Provides maximum rust protection. Durable top coat – Available in 10 color options, allowing for added customization and style.

Proudly Made in the USA

The Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms are manufactured in Orem, UT, using high-quality domestic materials. Our commitment to precision craftsmanship ensures reliable performance and unmatched durability.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

Designed for easy installation using factory hardware, these control arms can also be installed with our optional Grade 8 hardware kits, available separately, to simplify installation on vehicles with rusted or stubborn bolts.

In Conclusion

The Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms are an essential upgrade for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to eliminate driveline vibrations, optimize pinion angles, and improve axle control. When paired with Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms, this setup provides complete rear suspension control, ensuring maximum strength, improved articulation, and superior handling on and off the road.

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.

I don’t write reviews often, but Core 4x4 absolutely earned this one. I recently ordered leaf spring mounts and realized after the fact that I messed up my order. Totally my mistake. Instead of giving me the runaround or pointing at a return policy, Core 4x4 emailed me back and forth, worked through exactly what I was doing with my build, and made sure I ended up with the correct parts. That kind of customer service is rare these days — especially in the off-road world where a lot of companies stop caring once the order is placed. The parts themselves are exactly what you hope for: solid, well-made, confidence-inspiring hardware that looks like it belongs under a vehicle that actually gets used. You can tell these are designed by people who understand suspension geometry and real-world abuse, not just CAD screenshots. Mistakes happen — especially on custom or modified builds — and Core 4x4 handled mine like pros. Fast responses, clear communication, and a genuine effort to help me get it right. If you’re on the fence: don’t be. Core 4x4 is the kind of company you want backing your build — the kind that treats customers like fellow enthusiasts, not order numbers.

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’m extremely impressed with Core 4x4. The quality of their parts is outstanding — everything feels solid, well‑built, and engineered with real attention to detail. Shipping was fast and everything arrived perfectly packaged. Their customer service is just as good as their products: responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure you get exactly what you need. Overall, a top‑tier experience. I’ll definitely be buying from them again. Specially thank you Mr. Linscomb from Core 4x4. Arturo M.

Have full upper/lower CA set on both front and rear axles on a 96 ZJ. These are the rubber bushing sets not joint sets. I have beat the hell out it in the Nevada desert for 2 years and has been great. I don’t go fast but I do articulate suspension a lot. Super solid and haven’t any issues. Just inspected the entire set recently due to some banging under it. Turns out the banging is lower rear shock bushings. Inspected each CA along the way nothing. Aside from dirt and obviously winter roads and what not still in excellent condition, bushings are solid like the day they were installed. I’ll add that I’m about tapped on a short arm at 4.25(less with settle) so the front CA’s get beat on just from that, still they’re like new. Paint is great condition, this set is red. I would definitely buy again. Another plus for me, Utah isn’t local necessarily, but it’s nice to support businesses closer to me.

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.

Great long arm kit with everything else I needed as well! They worked with me to ensure that I was getting an upgraded components kit just like I wanted. Fast shipping with some of the best packaging that I have ever seen. Nothing was scratched or missing and this kit is even more impressive than the videos or website can show. Powder coating looks great with no issues. I would highly recommend CORE 4x4 to anyone looking for a great quality kit.

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!
