Why Builders Choose CORE 4X4
Warranty facts, not marketing language.
Their “lifetime” language refers to their service model. Actual parts warranty: 1 year. Ours: lifetime.
Skip a maintenance interval? Their warranty voids. Ours doesn’t.
Clayton warrants their Johnny Joints for 90 days. We cover ours for life.
Upgrade Your 4Runner’s Rear Suspension for Maximum Stability
Improve your Toyota 4Runner’s handling and durability with the Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms, designed for model years 1996-2002. These control arms provide greater strength, improved alignment control, and enhanced off-road capability, making them a crucial upgrade over factory components.
Key Features and Benefits
- Precise Axle and Pinion Angle Adjustment – Reduces driveline vibrations and ensures proper pinion angle correction for smoother operation.
- Enhanced Handling and Stability – Keeps the rear axle centered, reducing body sway and premature tire wear.
- Adjustable for Lifted Applications – Designed to accommodate 0 to 6-inch lifts, ensuring proper suspension geometry and future lift flexibility.
- Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while providing superior durability and ride quality.
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Fabricated from robust steel tubing for exceptional strength and longevity.
- Recommended Pairing – For complete rear axle alignment and pinion angle control, pair these control arms with our Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-96-RU2).
Optimized Pinion Angle and Rear Axle Centering
Lifting your Toyota 4Runner can alter the rear pinion angle, leading to driveline vibrations and added strain on U-joints. These adjustable lower control arms work with rear upper control arms to dial in the perfect pinion angle, ensuring a smooth, vibration-free ride.
Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Protection
Each component undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for exceptional corrosion resistance: Zinc primer base coat – Protects against rust and wear. Durable top coat – Available in 10 colors, allowing for aesthetic customization and added protection.
Proudly Made in the USA
The Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms are manufactured in Orem, UT, with locally sourced materials. We maintain strict quality control to ensure precision engineering, durability, and superior performance.
Optional Hardware Upgrade
These control arms install easily using factory hardware. For those dealing with rusted or stubborn bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a seamless installation experience.
In Conclusion
The Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms are the perfect solution for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to improve handling, correct axle positioning, and eliminate driveline vibrations. Whether you’re daily driving or hitting the trails, these control arms deliver unmatched strength, adjustability, and ride quality.
