The Maverick R uses the same Keller joints as the Maverick X3, so the X3 kits service them. Match the kit to the part number on the joint you are rebuilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to remove the joint from the A-arm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe threaded housing stays in the arm; you are replacing what sits inside it. That is particularly worth having if your A-arms were machined to accept Mega housings, since rebuilding avoids disturbing that work.

With no play and smooth stud movement, the Keller boot replacement kit is the right and cheaper repair. Use a rebuild kit once the internals have actually worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Keller\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rebuildable design is the whole argument for Keller. A joint that threads into the A-arm and comes apart for service is one you fix rather than replace, and this kit is what makes that real — the same cup, boot and pin the joint was assembled with, sold on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eService Your Can-Am Keller Joints Before They Let Go\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, read the part number off the joint and match it to the list above — standard and Mega, upper and lower, all take their own kit. Order one kit per joint you plan to rebuild. If the boot is the only problem, the Keller boot replacement kit is the right part instead. Riders running machined A-arms for Mega joints often keep kits on hand, since rebuilding in place is far less work than pulling housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Video\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOfficial SuperATV installation walkthrough with Todd Keller: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mbt4iX4DWRA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHow To Install Keller Ball Joints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is in the rebuild kit?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A new cup, a new boot and a 4340 heat-treated pin - all the same parts that came with your Keller ball joint originally.
