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
