Maverick X3/X3 MAX 64" Billet Tie Rod by ZBroz Racing

Eliminate the most common Can-Am X3 steering failure with the ZBroz Billet Tie Rod for the 64"-stance Maverick X3 and X3 MAX. Factory tie rods are tubular steel designed for cost — the first rock strike or hard landing at the wrong angle bends them and ends your ride day. The ZBroz CNC-machined billet replacement survives the abuse the X3 platform invites.

Whether you're racing the dunes, jumping desert whoops, or hammering aggressive trails, this is the tie rod upgrade that ends the bent-rod failure mode for good. Direct OEM replacement — no machining, no modifications.

FAQ

Will this fit the 72" X3 or X3 MAX?

No — this tie rod is sized specifically for the 64"-stance X3 chassis. The 72" X3 platform uses different steering geometry. Contact Dunes 2 Dezert SXS for the 72"-specific tie rod option.

Is this a single tie rod or a set?

Each unit is a single tie rod. Most X3 64" applications need two tie rods (one per side) — verify your needs and order accordingly.

Why does the factory X3 tie rod fail?

Factory tie rods are tubular steel designed for cost and weight — not for absorbing rock strikes or hard landings on the X3's long-travel suspension. The first hard hit at the wrong angle bends them, throwing alignment off and risking complete failure.

Will I need an alignment after installing?

Yes — plan to set toe alignment after install. The adjustable length makes proper alignment straightforward with basic alignment tools or a trip to your local shop.

Is installation DIY-friendly?

Yes — plan 30-60 minutes per side with hand tools. Detailed instructions are included. No special tools required beyond standard sockets and wrenches.

Why ZBroz
