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.

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.

I have a 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab and I replaced the rear upper and lower control arms also the pan hard track bar and also the sway bar and links for the rear with all I had the articulating bushings. The vehicle now has no body role. They are absolutely incredible if you get the control arms you gotta get the CORE 4 x 4sway bar end links don’t don’t try and be cheap and get Moog or something else you got to get articulating bushings get the core 4 x 4 ones they are the best. My truck drives now through the canyons like a BMW. I have Fox high-performance shocks on there as well with all the CORE 4 x 4 suspension parts and they are amazing. Well worth the money I would highly recommend anybody thinking about CORE 4 x 4 go with CORE 4X4 and if you can go with their articulating bushings, they’re unbelievable drives better now than my Escalades. Well planted no body role and smooth on the Highway unbelievable the difference they all made!! THANKS AGAIN CORE 4x4!!!!

We have all shopped places where the person on the phone makes you feel like they don't have the time to talk to you the customer or answer your questions. I can tell you first hand that's not Core 4x4. They have the best customer service I have seen so far. They have taken the time to respond to all of my questions in a very prompt and professional manner, taking the time to answer each and every question I have had. Lets put it this way if Core 4x4 sells a product I am wanting for my truck I will buy it from them, I highly recommend Core 4x4.

Great experience with Core 4x4! I purchased some suspension parts for my dad's 98 Jeep TJ. The products they make are super durable and look even better in person. Attention to detail and overall superior quality. The staff at Core 4x4 is super helpful also, Korby has been great. Updating me on the status of my order and sending me tracking numbers as well. Thank you all at Core 4x4, keep up the amazing work!
