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.

Excellent service, Prompt responses when needing technical assistance, Amazing looking parts that fit excellently. I would recommend them to anyone looking for suspension components. Also very well packaged when we received the shipment, which means no damage from shipping company!! We went with the Crawl Series double adjustable kit and it definitely looks killer on our build!!!

These guys are great. You can get them on the phone for support. This important and is not always the case with other custom parts builders. Their control arms are bomb proof and offer plenty of options. You can get real genuine Currie Johnny joints without paying the price for Currie arms.

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!!

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.

Purchased a set of Trailing arms for my Ram 1500, quality is first class. I bought the ones with the Jonny Joints for more articulation and it appears from the construction I should get a lifetime of use, Zerk fittings are an added plus. Would defiantly recommend, and the the service team answered all of my questions.

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!

Absolutely incredible family owned business. I asked to pick up my order since I’m local and they came in on a weekend to accommodate. Had to make some adjustments to parts and took the time to make sure it was perfect. Parts are incredible quality. If you have a Jeep, do not hesitate to support this local business.
