The LM UTV Can-Am Maverick R rear radius rod nut plate is a direct replacement for the factory rear nut plate, built to fix a known OEM weak point at the rear radius rod mounts. It replaces the stock tack-welded nut with a 3-piece captured nut design that has no welding at all.
LM UTV describes the stock Maverick R rear nut plates as thin steel, a single nut and one small tack weld, and says the first time you pull your radius rods there's a good chance that weld lets go. Once the nut spins, the bolt cannot be torqued. In the LM UTV plate the nut is fully captured and floats freely, so it self-centers as the bolt goes in, stays put while you work under the car, and can be replaced on its own if a thread is ever damaged. If you are upgrading Maverick R radius rods, this is the mount to fix while the rods are off.
Riders shopping Can-Am Maverick R radius rods, LM UTV radius rods or other Can-Am Maverick radius rods, Can-Am radius rods and UTV radius rods for the Maverick R should replace this radius rod plate hardware at the same time, since the rods must come off to reach it. It is also worth doing when Maverick R trailing arms are off for service, and it is one of the lower-cost Maverick R accessories that can save a stranded car.

Built To Solve: Spinning Rear Radius Rod Nuts on the Can-Am Maverick R
- A factory tack weld that breaks the first time the rear radius rods come off
- A spinning nut that leaves no way to torque the bolt
- Heat from welding a replacement nut that warps the plate and damages threads
- Nuts falling out of loose plates while you work under the car
- Having to replace the whole plate when one thread is damaged

FAQ
Why does the factory Maverick R rear nut plate fail?
LM UTV says the stock plates use thin steel, a single nut and one small tack weld, and that the weld often lets go the first time the radius rods are removed. Once the nut spins, there is no way to torque the bolt.
How is this nut plate different?
It uses a 3-piece captured nut design with no welding. The nut is fully captured and floats, so it self-centers as the bolt goes in and cannot cross-thread or fall out.
Can I replace just the nut later?
Yes. If a thread is ever damaged, the plate comes apart so you can replace only the nut instead of the whole assembly.
Will it fit my Maverick R Max?
Yes. LM UTV lists it as fitting all Maverick R years and models at the rear radius rod mounting location.
Is welding required to install it?
No. It is a direct replacement with no welding, which is part of the design: welding heat is what warps plates and damages threads.
Should I install it with new radius rods?
It is a good time to do it. The rear radius rods have to come off to reach the plate, so pairing it with a radius rod upgrade such as the LM UTV Maverick R radius rod kit saves doing the job twice.

Upgrade Your Can-Am Maverick R Rear Radius Rod Mounts
Order the nut plate for the rear radius rod mounting location and install it the next time the rods come off. If the factory radius rods are bent or due for replacement, add the LM UTV 7075 radius rod kit for the Maverick R and do both in one job.
