Can-Am X3 Double Shear Rear Knuckle

The 7075 X3 Capped Double Shear Rear Knuckle is the ultimate solution to the well-known Can-Am Maverick X3 middle radius rod and rear knuckle failure problem. Designed, tested, and race-proven, this billet knuckle eliminates weak factory pivots and transforms the middle radius rod into a true double shear mounting point.

Manufactured from USA-made 7075-T6 aluminum, this rear knuckle dramatically increases strength in all critical load paths while eliminating stress risers found in OEM components. Combined with an ARP bolt, capped design, and reinforced cross-sections, this knuckle is nearly 5x stronger than stock, handling over 72,000 lbs of force.

This is not a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a structural fix built for racing, high-speed desert abuse, and extreme off-road punishment.
