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.

Purchased a set of Trailing arms for my Ram 1500, quality is first class. I bought the ones with the Jonny Joints for more articulation and it appears from the construction I should get a lifetime of use, Zerk fittings are an added plus. Would defiantly recommend, and the the service team answered all of my questions.

I have bought a bunch of sets of arms, track bars and even had custom work done by Core 4x4. Just yesterday, Spence and Cam delivered an awesome cross member they designed and built for me! All of their products have been exceptional! I have personally seen their progression with design changes/updates. They truly take pride in their work and products. Quality control is second to none! They’ve also helped me diagnose issues with different jeeps I’ve had, as well as Dodge/Rams. These guys know their stuff! Really! I trust them whole heartedly and absolutely love their products/quality of work! I’ve referred many people, and will always continue to do so. Keep up the good work Core4x4!

After ordering an upper and lower adjustable control arm kit manufactured by CORE 4X4 from a jeep parts distributor who's intials are E.T., they came with 3 of the threaded ends missing. After over 2 months of phone calls and emails to this E.T. company nothing was resolved. I finally decided to call CORE 4X4 myself and tell them my dilemma. I spoke with a very personable and professional gentleman named Korby, who is one of CORE 4X4's representatives, after a brief discussion of what I went thru he simply asked me for a picture and some measurements and the items I was missing and asked if I could cover ONLY the cost of shipping and I had my missing parts in exactly 1 weeks time. This company not only builds all it's parts in the U.S.A., they stand behind their products with great customer service and life time warranty. My experience with this company and their Rep Korby was fantastic. I would definitely recommend CORE 4X4 to anyone who needs parts for any 4x4 projects. You just can't beat their quality and service.

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!

First of I just want to say Great customer service korby Has helped me from the start and has not let me down! Reached out to him again today and he was able to warranty some parts out for me. As far as the quality of the parts.. excellent! The build quality is great. I can definitely tell a Difference from the cheap oem rear control arms to these and the pan hard bar. Color, From what I can tell it’s super durable been through a few mud holes on top of the daily road grime and after a quick wipe they still pop! Overall I recommend. Customer service is everything for me and it’s definitely there at Core 4x4.
