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.

Fits:

  • Chevy Tahoe (2000–2006)
  • Chevy Suburban 1500 (2000–2006)
  • Chevy Avalanche 1500 (2002–2006)
  • GMC Yukon / Yukon XL 1500 (2000–2006)
  • GMC Yukon Denali / XL Denali (2001–2006)
  • Cadillac Escalade / ESV / EXT (2002–2006)

Good company, they offer well built parts and Great customer service. I had a couple of hang ups with my control arms that I purchased, they were very easy to work with and found the solution to make them work.

These guys are great. You can get them on the phone for support. This important and is not always the case with other custom parts builders. Their control arms are bomb proof and offer plenty of options. You can get real genuine Currie Johnny joints without paying the price for Currie arms.

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ. Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)

Very beefy items for a very reasonable price.  Personally have CORE rear track bar and all upper control arms for my 04 Jeep TJ.  Had a slight issue with control arm length and they went above and beyond to swap jam nuts to get me where I needed to be.  Really have to appreciate a company like this.

Great company. Highly satisfied with Core 4x4 customer service. Had some bushings fall apart around 600 miles from home. Called and spoke with Korby Linscomb on Thursday, late in the afternoon. He was able to get my bushings sent across country overnight at a very reasonable rate. Had me up and running by Friday evening with enough time to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Thanks Guys!

Korby was a great help with getting me a set of leaf springs for my Cherokee. Great customer service and an awesome product all made in the USA. Proud to support and rock their parts on my vehicle. 👍 …

After ordering an upper and lower adjustable control arm kit manufactured by CORE 4X4 from a jeep parts distributor who's intials are E.T., they came with 3 of the threaded ends missing. After over 2 months of phone calls and emails to this E.T. company nothing was resolved. I finally decided to call CORE 4X4 myself and tell them my dilemma. I spoke with a very personable and professional gentleman named Korby, who is one of CORE 4X4's representatives, after a brief discussion of what I went thru he simply asked me for a picture and some measurements and the items I was missing and asked if I could cover ONLY the cost of shipping and I had my missing parts in exactly 1 weeks time. This company not only builds all it's parts in the U.S.A., they stand behind their products with great customer service and life time warranty. My experience with this company and their Rep Korby was fantastic. I would definitely recommend CORE 4X4 to anyone who needs parts for any 4x4 projects. You just can't beat their quality and service.

Core 4x4 excels with precision and service and keeps nothing else higher in mind. Everyone I've met at the company is very honest and down to earth, 10/10 would recommend.
