Skip a maintenance interval? Their warranty voids. Ours doesn’t.

vs. Clayton Off Road

Clayton warrants their Johnny Joints for 90 days. We cover ours for life.

Optimize Pinion Angle and Maximize Drivetrain Efficiency

Upgrade your Toyota 4Runner’s rear suspension with the Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms, engineered for precise axle positioning, improved handling, and drivetrain vibration reduction. Designed for model years 2003-Present, these fully adjustable control arms allow for proper pinion angle correction, reducing driveline vibrations while optimizing rear suspension performance.

What’s Included in the Kit?

  • Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-03-RU2)

Key Features and Benefits

  • Precision Pinion Angle Adjustment – Corrects driveline geometry, reducing driveline vibrations and optimizing rear axle alignment.
  • Full Axle Control When Paired with Rear Lower Control Arms – Combine with Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-03-RL2) for complete control over axle positioning, ensuring proper articulation and alignment.
  • Adjustability for a Perfect Fit – Designed for 0 to 6-inch lifts, allowing for axle recentering and optimized suspension geometry.
  • Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for a smoother ride and longer-lasting durability.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Fabricated from robust steel tubing, ensuring maximum strength and off-road durability.

Pinion Angle Correction for Reduced Driveline Vibrations

Lifting your vehicle alters the rear pinion angle, often leading to increased driveline vibrations and excessive wear on the U-joints. The Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms allow precise pinion angle adjustments, minimizing unwanted vibration and ensuring optimal drivetrain efficiency.

Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Durability

Each Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arm undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability: Zinc primer base coat – Provides maximum rust protection. Durable top coat – Available in 10 color options, allowing for added customization and style.

Proudly Made in the USA

The Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms are manufactured in Orem, UT, using high-quality domestic materials. Our commitment to precision craftsmanship ensures reliable performance and unmatched durability.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

Designed for easy installation using factory hardware, these control arms can also be installed with our optional Grade 8 hardware kits, available separately, to simplify installation on vehicles with rusted or stubborn bolts.

In Conclusion

The Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms are an essential upgrade for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to eliminate driveline vibrations, optimize pinion angles, and improve axle control. When paired with Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms, this setup provides complete rear suspension control, ensuring maximum strength, improved articulation, and superior handling on and off the road.

Upgrade your 4Runner’s suspension today for a smoother, more controlled, and off-road-ready driving experience!

Select your lift size in Step 1 — the kit ships with the correct geometry for that height. If you’re running a non-standard setup, call us before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility.

Death wobble is a geometry problem, not just worn parts. Cruise Series corrects caster angle and eliminates the flex points that let shimmy start. Replacing one part at a time delays the fix — this replaces the geometry.

Yes, if you’ve done a lift kit before. Full-day project. Watch the complete JT install walkthrough on our YouTube channel — most owners wrap it in a day. Any off-road shop can run it if you’d rather have it done.

Any non-wear component fails — we replace it. No mileage cap. No maintenance intervals to track. No fine print about voiding if you miss a service. Lifetime means lifetime.

Teraflex’s lifetime warranty voids if you miss a maintenance interval. MetalCloak’s actual parts warranty is 12 months — their “lifetime” language refers to their service program. No conditions here.

I just finished installing the Peak 2.0 Front Suspension system with the Core 4x4 Blue Tacoma Rear Suspension system on my 2024 TRD Offroad Premium Tacoma. The two upgraded suspension systems really made a difference in how the ride feels, whether we’re off-road or on the road. A big thank you to Korby and the team at Core 4x4 for their support and for getting the shipping sorted out so quickly!

Their website estimated 2 days to get my parts but actually took 11. No communication to let me know what’s going on. Parts were missing. Some days they answer questions, some they don’t. Didn’t let me know I’d have to alter stock bolts to fit their parts. All around just seems like they don’t care.

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!

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 :) .

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.

Got the CAMP version of adjustable control arms and track bars for our 03 TJ with a 3” lift and 33x10.5 KO 2’s. Super beefy bars, great fit and adjustability. Friendly advice and support from Korby at CORE 4X4. Good follow up as well. The ride quality is great as well as the handling. I think it all looks pretty good as well.

Great experience with Core 4x4! I purchased some suspension parts for my dad's 98 Jeep TJ. The products they make are super durable and look even better in person. Attention to detail and overall superior quality. The staff at Core 4x4 is super helpful also, Korby has been great. Updating me on the status of my order and sending me tracking numbers as well. Thank you all at Core 4x4, keep up the amazing work!

Finally a company with a great product and customer service to match. I changed my order last minute from short arms to long arms. The lift is extremely well built. Korbey was awesome! Highly recommend Core 4x4

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.
