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.

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.

  • For those dealing with rusted or seized bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a hassle-free installation.

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

Exceptional customer service. All my questions were asked in a timely manner and parts were replaced when an error occured. I encourage people to make purchases due to their exceptional quality products, but also because of their customer service. Will make additional purchases in the future.

Have full upper/lower CA set on both front and rear axles on a 96 ZJ. These are the rubber bushing sets not joint sets. I have beat the hell out it in the Nevada desert for 2 years and has been great. I don’t go fast but I do articulate suspension a lot. Super solid and haven’t any issues. Just inspected the entire set recently due to some banging under it. Turns out the banging is lower rear shock bushings. Inspected each CA along the way nothing. Aside from dirt and obviously winter roads and what not still in excellent condition, bushings are solid like the day they were installed. I’ll add that I’m about tapped on a short arm at 4.25(less with settle) so the front CA’s get beat on just from that, still they’re like new. Paint is great condition, this set is red. I would definitely buy again. Another plus for me, Utah isn’t local necessarily, but it’s nice to support businesses closer to me.

Recieved warrenty exchanges for my control arms last night couldnt be happier!!! Lets talk about the arms tho! Great quality arms in multiple styles and colors!!! I purchased the teir 3 short arns for my 98 xj. I can say that they setoff nicely so my 35 inch tires do not rub! As long as you can get a photo or video of broken hardware core will take care of you. The body of the arm is bulletproof. However make sure to maintain and grease the joints regularly as with any greaseable joint and they shouldkast forever. I had a few problems arise a year after purchase and after some troubleshooting spence was able to help get me the correct parts to get back on the road. I recommend this setup to any and all jeepers looking to get away from the stock arm setup. Alltogether i am Very happy with the performace of my control arms!!!! Mechanic and bodyman of 12 years and my first choice for quality control arms!!

Not sure where to start, Products or Service or Warranty. Products: I found Core4x4 through a very respected YouTuber in the Jeeping community. I purchased an entire set of Core4x4 Control Arms three years ago and have beat the daylights out of them and they are still in great condition. Now, I purchased another Jeep, this time for my daughter and bought yet another set of Control Arms because I know that these things can take a beating and stand up to it. I plan on replacing more parts on this TJ and my JL and will continue to buy from Core4x4. Service: This isn't some huge name conglomerate that treats you like you're just another customer. They are quick with responses and will always make things right should something be a problem. Oh and the quickness in which they ship their products is unmatched. I bought these CAs for my TJ on Thursday, I received them on Monday. Most other manufacturers will tell you weeks, they had them to me in 2 shipping days. Warranty: Seriously, a lifetime warranty? Yes please. Nothing more to say. I can't say enough about how great of a company this is. I've even spoken to the owner through email a few years back on some questions that I had. Support small American built businesses. P.S. Core 4x4, feel free to make me an ambassador and send me some swag :) .

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!!
