Confirm your machine width before ordering — the 72-inch machine uses a different part number. While the front end is apart, check the carrier bearing and limit straps: worn driveline components let the suspension outrun the axle's articulation and are a common reason a replacement axle fails as fast as the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Video\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemon Powersports' official heavy duty axle installation walkthrough:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C5gHNjF4amw\" title=\"How to Install Demon Heavy Duty Axles\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@graph\": [{\"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Will this axle fit my 72-inch Maverick X3?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"No. This is the 64-inch axle.
