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.

Great customer service. I got my front upper and lower control arms and hardware on Friday afternoon. It didn’t come with instructions so I called Core 4X4 and they immediately e mailed me the instructions. Also, the kit I got had the spacers missing so I called. It was late Friday by thus time but they took care of the issue first thing Monday morning and I got the spacers on Tuesday. Great company.

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.

Great company. Highly satisfied with Core 4x4 customer service. Had some bushings fall apart around 600 miles from home. Called and spoke with Korby Linscomb on Thursday, late in the afternoon. He was able to get my bushings sent across country overnight at a very reasonable rate. Had me up and running by Friday evening with enough time to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Thanks Guys!

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!

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.
