CA Tech USA Can-Am Maverick X3 Ball Joints

CA Tech USA Can-Am Maverick X3 Ball Joints are the 2.0 version of CA Tech USA's serviceable 300M ball joint, with a larger stem, a boot-retaining lip and more articulation than the original design. They are adjustable, greaseable and nitride treated, and CA Tech USA backs them with a full lifetime warranty against workmanship defects and damage, including broken parts.

CA Tech USA tests and refines these joints in racing. Each joint is built from seven separate components, a drilled passage carries grease from the flush-mount fitting in the adjustment nut jamb bolt to the stem, and every component is available separately for service. CA Tech USA now offers these ball joints in black only.

Fitment

Fits the Can-Am Maverick X3, including 64-inch and 72-inch models and the four-seat X3 Max. These will not work on SuperATV or L&W control arms without special cap nuts, so contact us for the correct caps before ordering if you run those arms. Fitment is not guaranteed on unlisted models.

FAQ

Why do my Can-Am X3 ball joints keep wearing out?

Factory-style joints cannot be greased or adjusted, so wear becomes play that can only be fixed by replacement. CA Tech USA X3 ball joints are greaseable, adjustable and nitride treated for wear resistance.

What changed in the CA Tech USA X3 Ball Joint 2.0?

CA Tech USA added a larger stem for durability, a lip on the stem to keep the boot in place, more travel for steering at steep angles, and more rotation and articulation to reduce the chance of binding.

Will these fit SuperATV or L&W control arms?

Not as supplied. CA Tech USA states they will not work on SuperATV or L&W control arms without special cap nuts. Contact us for the correct caps before ordering.

Do they fit 64-inch, 72-inch and X3 Max models?

CA Tech USA lists these for the Can-Am Maverick X3. We apply them across the 64-inch, 72-inch and four-seat X3 Max versions. Contact us if you run aftermarket arms.

How do I install and adjust CA Tech USA ball joints?

CA Tech USA publishes a ball joint installation and adjustment video, embedded below. Use it to set adjustment and grease the joints after install.

Should I buy the upper set, the lower set or the complete set?

Buy the complete set if you are replacing all of the front ball joints, or the upper or lower set if only one position needs it. The complete set is priced below buying both sets separately.

Why CA Tech USA

CA Tech USA is a UTV suspension and chassis parts maker based in Cleveland, Tennessee. CA Tech USA brand products carry its hassle-free lifetime warranty: if you break it, they replace it.

Rebuild Your Can-Am Maverick X3 Front End

Choose the upper set, lower set or complete set of CA Tech USA Maverick X3 ball joints for the positions you are replacing, and confirm your control arm brand first, since SuperATV and L&W arms need special cap nuts. Pick up replacement ball joint boots, and if your arms are bent or tired, look at CA Tech USA X3 boxed or chromoly control arms while the front end is apart.
