Why Builders Choose CORE 4X4

Warranty facts, not marketing language.

vs. MetalCloak

Their “lifetime” language refers to their service model. Actual parts warranty: 1 year. Ours: lifetime.

vs. Teraflex

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.

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.

What’s Included in the Kit?

  • Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-96-RU2)
  • Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms (CRS-T-4R-96-RL2)

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.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

  • These control arms install easily using factory hardware.
  • For those dealing with rusted or seized bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a hassle-free installation.

In Conclusion

The Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set is the perfect solution for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to eliminate driveline vibrations, enhance rear axle alignment, and improve overall ride quality.

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

Upgrade your 4Runner today and experience superior performance on any terrain!

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.

Great customer service. I got my front upper and lower control arms and hardware on Friday afternoon. It didn’t come with instructions so I called Core 4X4 and they immediately e mailed me the instructions. Also, the kit I got had the spacers missing so I called. It was late Friday by thus time but they took care of the issue first thing Monday morning and I got the spacers on Tuesday. Great company.

Installed the full kit on my XJ. Ride quality is night and day better than what I had before. The articulation on the trail is insane. These guys know what they are doing. Already recommended Core 4x4 to everyone in my club.

The whole process was quick and painless. The products are top tier and when I reached out them for package update info, Korby Linscomb was very responsive, and got me the answers I needed the same day. Even when I emailed back to some additional info, he sent what I was looking for that same day. I love core 4x4 and will be giving them my business from now on.

Solid product, the lifetime warranty sealed the deal for me. Installed on my TJ and the ride quality improved noticeably. Shipping took a bit longer than expected but the parts were worth the wait.
