Can-Am X3 A-Arm Reinforcement Gusset Kit

The DRT Motorsports Can-Am X3 A-Arm Reinforcement Gusset Kit is an essential upgrade for any Maverick X3 used the way it was intended. This X3 gusset kit converts all upper and lower control arm mounting points from single shear to double shear — delivering huge strength gains, improved durability, and a tighter feel in the front suspension.

Constructed from laser-cut, formed, and welded steel with a powder-coated black finish, this front A-arm gusset kit for Can-Am X3 makes the front end nearly 2X stronger by eliminating the single-shear OEM mounting vulnerability — a critical reinforcement for owners running hard in desert, dune, or aggressive trail conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this gusset kit actually do?

It converts every A-arm mounting point — upper and lower — from single shear to double shear, making the front end nearly 2X stronger.

Why is double shear better than single shear?

Double-shear mounts spread load across two points instead of one, dramatically reducing stress on the mount under hard hits and high-load events. It's the same principle racing teams use to eliminate failure points at the chassis-to-suspension interface.

Does it fit 4-door X3 models?

Yes. It fits all 2017+ Can-Am Maverick X3 models in both 2-door and 4-door configurations.

Will it work with my DRT front bumper?

Yes. It's designed to work with the DRT X3 Front Bumper as part of a complete front-end reinforcement system.

Is there an install guide?

Yes — a step-by-step PDF install guide is linked below for download.

Is welding required?

The gussets are bolt-on; no welding is required for installation. Standard hand tools and a drill are sufficient.
