Enhanced Stability, Control, and Performance for Your 4Runner

Upgrade your Toyota 4Runner’s suspension with the Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set, designed to deliver unmatched stability, improved handling, and long-term durability for model years 1996-2002. 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 Upper Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-96-RU2)
  • 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.

Upgrade your 4Runner today and experience superior performance 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 ordered the jeep xj long arm lift kit. Control arms showed up first they turned out amazing!! Had some issues with the powder coating on the cross member and sent korby and the team at core4x4 an email. They got right on making me another cross member and sending it out. I appreciate all the help they've given me along the way. Very fast response thru emails. Build quality seems to be pretty dang nice!! Can't wait to install it and enjoy it!

I wanted to take a moment and give these guys a shout out, I’ve currently got, for my xj, their adjustable control arms, tier 4 adjustable track bar and adjustable leaf spring shackles. You can always count on a fair price, high quality products, and quick delivery. Keep up the great work guys, will definitely continue to shop with you

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ. Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)
