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 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!

The quality and durability of the arms are the best. They are super heavy duty. And lifetime warranty is crazy

Have yet to get to try them but I bought some upper, and then later , lower control arms for my 03 rubicon. The pricing is very fair, so fair I was hesitant to even purchase. When the product came in I was happily mistaken. These are some beefy units with an incredible warranty! I’m very excited! I went with the “Camp”series as I mostly daily it. I have trouble with the shipping at times when I ordered but Corby is quick to notice things and help communicate the solution. Looking forward to buying more parts!

The customer service is first class. I had an issue with a track bar I installed on my F350. I don’t have any other Core 4x4 parts yet, but with the way I was treated, I know their parts are well done, because they went above and beyond to make sure I was made whole. They wouldn’t be in business if they had to take care of a lot of people like they took care of me. Will definitely be back when it’s time to build the Jeep!
