Whether you're tackling off-road terrain or daily driving, these control arms provide greater strength, precise alignment adjustments, and superior ride quality over factory components.

What’s Included in the Kit?

  • Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-96-RL2)

Key Features and Benefits

  • Precise Pinion Angle Adjustment – Helps reduce driveline vibrations and enhances the longevity of drivetrain components.
  • Improved Axle Centering – Ensures proper rear axle alignment, reducing dog tracking and uneven tire wear.
  • Adjustable for Lifted Applications – Accommodates 0 to 6-inch lifts, maintaining proper suspension geometry and allowing future lift flexibility.
  • Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Minimizes noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while providing superior responsiveness.
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction – Built from high-strength steel tubing for maximum durability and off-road resilience.
  • Recommended Pairing – For complete rear suspension control and maximum pinion angle adjustability, pair this set with the Cruise Series Rear Track Bar (CRS-T-4R-96-RTB1).

Precision Handling and Driveline Vibration Reduction

Lifting your Toyota 4Runner can create driveline vibrations and rear axle misalignment, leading to increased wear on suspension and drivetrain components. This adjustable control arm set corrects pinion angle and axle positioning, ensuring a smooth, vibration-free ride with better handling and stability.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating for Long-Lasting Protection

Each component is treated with a two-stage powder coating process for superior corrosion resistance and durability: Zinc primer base coat prevents rust and enhances longevity. Durable top coat, available in 10 colors, adds aesthetic customization and extra protection.

Proudly Made in the USA

Manufactured in Orem, UT, the Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set is crafted with locally sourced materials and strict quality control to ensure top-tier engineering, longevity, and reliability.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

  • These control arms install easily using factory hardware.
  • For those dealing with rusted or seized bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a hassle-free installation.

In Conclusion

The Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set is the perfect solution for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to eliminate driveline vibrations, enhance rear axle alignment, and improve overall ride quality.

Whether you're conquering trails or cruising the highway, these control arms provide unmatched durability, adjustability, and handling precision.

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 products they sell, got a crawl series long arm kit for my xj and it has held up quite nice, they are beefy, and for what ever reason they fail it has a great warranty with a customer service to match, when someone asks what control arm kit to buy I always recommend core 4x4

Had a worn out set of rear upper control arms on my TJ. These were old rubicon express long arms. can’t buy replacements and no one makes a direct fit replacement. Talked with Korby at core off road sent some measurements and photos and a week later new arms showed up. Packaging was perfect fit was perfect. Would highly recommend giving these guys a call.

I want to share a truly positive experience. I ordered a car kit consisting of two packages, but unfortunately one was lost during shipping with UPS. The situation could have become complicated... but it didn't. The company manager was extremely helpful and professional: he personally followed up on the situation and did everything he could to resolve the issue, even sending me the package again without hesitation. It's rare to find such attentive and reliable customer service these days. My sincere congratulations on your professionalism and commitment: that makes all the difference.

I purchased a set of the Cruiser Series control arms for my Jeep Jk based on postive reviews from different Jeep Facebook pages. Ordered and 2 days later realized they had the very same exact arms on sale in the overstock section. Called them up and they refunded me the savings from my original purchase. Amazing, honest service. Can't wait to get them installed. Keep up the good work guys.

I purchased upper and lower adjustable arms for my WJ and lowers were missing the spacers. I didn't know until 3 months later when I was installing them. With absolutely zero hassles they quickly sent me the missing spacers. Fantastic product and service! Huge thank you guys for the awesome service and parts!!! Customer service is quickly becoming a lost commodity and you guys gave me hope that it's still alive and well, you just have to buy from the right people... Thanks again for going above and beyond! 👍👍
