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.

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 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’m extremely impressed with Core 4x4. The quality of their parts is outstanding — everything feels solid, well‑built, and engineered with real attention to detail. Shipping was fast and everything arrived perfectly packaged. Their customer service is just as good as their products: responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure you get exactly what you need. Overall, a top‑tier experience. I’ll definitely be buying from them again. Specially thank you Mr. Linscomb from Core 4x4. Arturo M.

Small business, family owned, made in the USA, lifetime warranty. Purchased Tier 3 control arms and rear track bar for a 2006 Jeep LJ. Simple website and easy to contact over phone and email. I had some technical questions and they were happy to answer them. They allow local pickup and were built to order same week. The order was wrapped and ready when I walked in and even gave a tour of the shop. They abrasive blast all raw materials to achieve a better surface profile for powdercoat to adhere and create a smooth, durable finish. I also noticed several CNC machines and a robotic welder they use for all their parts. A small outfit with a robotic welder? Their concern for quality is obvious and it shows in the parts they make. Very impressed. Happy to do business with these guys.

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

First off: Korby, the gentleman that helped me decide on which kit to go with is EASILY the nicest, and most patient person I’ve dealt with, when ordering parts for this build. Second: the quality of the product is INSANE! These parts are so nicely fabricated, then powder coated for extra longevity, and they even offer an aluminum upgrade in some cases (which I went with, to save weight). Having said all of this, the most impressive thing was the lead time. These parts are build to order, and I literally ordered my suspension one week ago, today! Yes, they built, powder coated, packaged, shipped my suspension components (RAM 1500 Track rear trailing arm full set in 7075 aluminum, and front upper control arms), AND they arrived, all within a week! Granted, that I’m only one state away, but WOW!!! One week?! Amazing! So, in sort: excellent products, which arrived excellently packaged (no damage, an boxes not over-stuffed with heavy suspension parts; three boxes total, as opposed to one super heavy one…my back thanks you), super quickly, and customer service that ANY business would be envious of….so, if you’re in the market, absolutely go with Core 4X4!

Korby was extremely helpful in helping me find the right part for my truck. He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient while I asked a million questions. He also went out of his way to find the right shipping option for me since it’s tricky where I live. I’m looking forward to getting the parts so I can fix my truck and go adventuring again soon!
