Upgrade Your 4Runner’s Rear Suspension for Maximum Stability

Improve your Toyota 4Runner’s handling and durability with the Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms, designed for model years 1996-2002. These control arms provide greater strength, improved alignment control, and enhanced off-road capability, making them a crucial upgrade over factory components.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Precise Axle and Pinion Angle Adjustment – Reduces driveline vibrations and ensures proper pinion angle correction for smoother operation.
  • Enhanced Handling and Stability – Keeps the rear axle centered, reducing body sway and premature tire wear.
  • Adjustable for Lifted Applications – Designed to accommodate 0 to 6-inch lifts, ensuring proper suspension geometry and future lift flexibility.
  • Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while providing superior durability and ride quality.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Fabricated from robust steel tubing for exceptional strength and longevity.
  • Recommended Pairing – For complete rear axle alignment and pinion angle control, pair these control arms with our Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-96-RU2).

Optimized Pinion Angle and Rear Axle Centering

Lifting your Toyota 4Runner can alter the rear pinion angle, leading to driveline vibrations and added strain on U-joints. These adjustable lower control arms work with rear upper control arms to dial in the perfect pinion angle, ensuring a smooth, vibration-free ride.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Protection

Each component undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for exceptional corrosion resistance: Zinc primer base coat – Protects against rust and wear. Durable top coat – Available in 10 colors, allowing for aesthetic customization and added protection.

Proudly Made in the USA

The Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms are manufactured in Orem, UT, with locally sourced materials. We maintain strict quality control to ensure precision engineering, durability, and superior performance.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

These control arms install easily using factory hardware. For those dealing with rusted or stubborn bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a seamless installation experience.

In Conclusion

The Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms are the perfect solution for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to improve handling, correct axle positioning, and eliminate driveline vibrations. Whether you’re daily driving or hitting the trails, these control arms deliver unmatched strength, adjustability, and ride quality.

Upgrade your 4Runner today and enjoy enhanced stability, smoother handling, and ultimate durability on any terrain!

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 ordered a part for my 03 Jeep TJ and all I can say is wow! Korby at Core 4x4 is a total rockstar!! There was a glitch with my payment and within minutes, Korby reached out to me to get it fixed, then sent my receipt with the tracking number. I lost the number and reached out to him during the Holidays and got a rapid response with the number again. I can’t say enough about the customer service and the quality of parts. Thank you!!

I met a couple of the Core 4x4 guys at the Salt Lake Offroad Expo and decided to try them out after noticing one of my control arm bushings was disintegrated. I called to discuss parts on Thursday and I was leaving for a trip on Saturday. These guys built my control arms and had them ready to be picked up Friday, 24 hours later. The parts seem to be great quality and they charged me nothing extra to have them painted. These guys were extremely helpful and without them my trip probably would have been cancelled. looking forward to testing out the arms on my next trip to Moab.

Got the CAMP version of adjustable control arms and track bars for our 03 TJ with a 3” lift and 33x10.5 KO 2’s. Super beefy bars, great fit and adjustability. Friendly advice and support from Korby at CORE 4X4. Good follow up as well. The ride quality is great as well as the handling. I think it all looks pretty good as well.
