Details
Core 4x4's Cruise Series rear upper control arms replace the worn factory stamped-steel arms on the Cadillac Escalade EXT (2002–2006). The factory arms use soft rubber bushings and a fixed length, so there's no way to correct pinion angle after a lift or leveling kit. These Core 4x4 arms are a serious step up: heavier steel construction, fresh poly bushings, and adjustable length to set rear pinion angle back to spec.
They're also built to grow with your truck. When you want more articulation later, the adjustable end accepts the same forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint our Camp arms use, so you can upgrade in place without replacing the whole arm.
Includes: Rear upper control arms (pair); mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers).
Specs:
- Tubing — 1.625 in. o.d. × 3/16 in. wall steel
- Bushings — poly, both ends
- Adjustable length — for pinion-angle correction
- Lift range — 0–6 in.
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty — bend it or break it, we'll replace it
- Wear items (bushings, joints) — covered for 18 months
Suspension Type — Factory Autoride (Z55): Chances are, your truck came with rear Autoride (Z55) from the factory — GM's air-leveling system. This part is built to match: the ride-height sensor mounting tab is included on both rear upper arms, so your factory sensors bolt right back on. Converted to coil springs — or never had air ride at all? No problem — everything fits and works exactly the same; the sensor tabs just go unused.
Notes:
- Hardware is included with your arms. If you ever need replacements down the road, the matching kit is available separately.
- Future upgrade: each adjustable end accepts a forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint (CE-9112N-22) — two for the pair.
- Running a lift? The 4-piece rear set (CRS-G-800-EXT-RS4-Z55) adds the matching lower arms to replace all four rear arms in one job.
Parts:
- Poly bushings — BSH-UPBH-CB, 9/16-in. bolt (2 per arm, 4 for the pair).
- Replacement hardware kit — CRS-G-800-RU2-HWK.
