The LM UTV Can-Am Maverick X3 billet shock tower brace is a fully boxed brace machined from 6061 aluminum that ties the front shock towers of any X3 together. It is a direct bolt-on or weld-in part with all hardware included, and its open design lets you install it without disconnecting the radiator hoses.
Among Can-Am X3 shock tower brace options, LM UTV builds this one as a fully boxed design, not a flimsy single plate, and it fits all X3 models, including cars with Smart-Shox. Choose the finish for the billet brace and, separately, the finish for the steel bracket: machined finish, black powder coat or one of the listed colors. LM UTV makes it in the USA and backs it with a Lifetime Warranty.
As Can-Am Maverick X3 shock tower brace options go, this is a Can-Am X3 billet shock tower brace that mounts at the front of the car, so it is the Can-Am X3 front shock tower brace in the LM UTV range of Can-Am X3 suspension and Can-Am X3 parts.

FAQ
What does a shock tower brace do on a Can-Am X3?
It ties the left and right front shock towers together so they work as one structure instead of moving independently under load. This brace does it with a fully boxed 6061 design rather than a single flat plate.
Do I have to disconnect the radiator hoses to install it?
No. LM UTV designed it with an open layout so it installs without disconnecting the radiator hoses.
Will it fit my X3 with Smart-Shox?
Yes. LM UTV lists it as fitting all X3 models and states that it fits with Smart-Shox.
Is it bolt-on or weld-in?
Either. It is a direct bolt-on part with all hardware included, and it can be welded in if you prefer a permanent installation.
Why are there two finish choices?
The kit has a billet brace and a steel bracket, and each has its own finish option. You can run a machined brace with a black bracket, or match both to your build color.
How is this different from the shock tower bulkhead bracket?
This is the brace itself. The LM UTV shock tower bulkhead bracket is an add-on that connects the chassis to this brace, and it needs the separate shock bulkhead bolt kit.
Why LM UTV
LM UTV combines engineering and manufacturing knowledge with modern design to build UTV parts that fix broken or malfunctioning OEM parts and improve on them. LM UTV states that all of its parts are designed and made in the USA and come with a Lifetime Warranty, and its catalog covers Polaris and Can-Am models, including tie rods, radius rods and ball joints.
Complete Your Can-Am Maverick X3 Front Chassis Upgrade
Pick your billet brace finish and steel bracket finish, then order the brace. To tie the brace into the chassis, add the LM UTV shock tower bulkhead bracket and the shock bulkhead bolt kit it requires, and pair it with the X3 front gusset kit if you are reinforcing the A-arm mounts at the same time.
