The Mega is what happens when that design is taken as far as the geometry allows: the same threaded housing and chromoly stud, scaled up past the point a factory A-arm can accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore You Order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm your A-arms are machined for Mega housings, that you are on the original Maverick rather than an X3, and which position you are replacing. Remember there is no four-joint kit here — a full front end is two uppers plus two lowers. If the boots are torn but the joints are sound, the Keller boot replacement kit covers the Mega. If the joints are worn but the housings are good, the Mega options in the Keller rebuild kit for Can-Am service them.\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 actually has to be modified on the A-arm?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Mega housing is larger than the bore a factory arm provides, so the arm has to be machined to accept it.
