LM UTV lists this front gusset kit as fitting all X3 models, which covers 64\" and 72\" cars and the four-seat Maverick X3 Max.

Double shear supports the bolt on both sides so the load passes through two points instead of one. LM UTV states this kit makes all a arm mounts double shear, which is the reason it exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this front gusset kit require welding or cutting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLM UTV lists it as direct bolt on with all hardware included. No welding is specified for this kit.

Unlike the rear bulkhead kits, the front gusset kit is not split by year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this replace my A-arms or change suspension geometry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a chassis reinforcement, not a suspension part. It is a Front Bulkhead design that reinforces the front chassis and changes how the A-arm mounts are loaded. Your arms, shocks and alignment stay as they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finishes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack powder coated finish or custom colors.

This kit addresses the front chassis and A-arm mounts. The rear radius rod mounts are handled by LM UTV's rear bulkhead kits, which are year-specific and have their own requirements. Many owners do both ends, but neither one requires the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy LM UTV\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLM UTV combines engineering and manufacturing knowledge with modern design to produce UTV products like no other. The company's stated approach is finding solutions for broken or malfunctioning OEM parts and creating improvements while giving the parts an impressive and attractive aesthetic. All LM UTV parts are designed and made in the USA and come with a Lifetime Warranty. The catalog covers both Polaris and Can-Am models — tie rods, radius rods and ball joints among them — with more makes, models and parts being added frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReinforce The Front End Of Your Can-Am Maverick X3\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are already pulling the front apart, this is the moment to put the gussets in. A front gusset kit that makes all A-arm mounts double shear pairs naturally with fresh ball joints, upper and lower A-arm hardware and heim-end service parts, and the rear chassis deserves the same treatment from the correct year-specific rear bulkhead kit and pull plate. Reinforce the mounts before the mounts decide the schedule for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does double shear actually do for the front A-arm mounts?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A single-shear mount carries the load at one point on the bolt.
