On the 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 DS, the lower radius rod is the part that finds every rock and rut before the rest of the machine does. This LM UTV six-piece high clearance kit lifts the lower rods out of that path and runs the whole set on three-piece Chromoly, PTFE-lined 5/8 spherical bearings with O-rings, so the rods clear obstacles instead of collecting damage.
All six rods are replaced as a set with RH/LH 5/8 bearings, so rear alignment can be adjusted on the car. Billet HD rods are machined from 6061 aircraft grade aluminum and spaced with 17-4 stainless steel, and the whole kit bolts to the factory mounting points.

Built To Solve: Lower Radius Rod Strikes On The 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 DS
- Lower rods hitting rocks and rut edges. High clearance geometry raises the rod out of the strike zone; a stronger straight rod still sits in it.
- Dented and bent rods pulling rear alignment. A tweaked rod moves rear toe and the machine stops tracking straight under power.
- Rod ends going gritty in dust. O-rings on the spherical bearings keep the race sealed instead of letting grit into it.
- Alignment work that means pulling rods off the car. RH/LH 5/8 bearings let you set toe in place.
- Replacing rods one at a time. This is a complete six-rod set, so the rear geometry gets reset as a system rather than patched.
Best For: 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 DS Owners Riding Rocks And Ruts
- 64" DS chassis owners on technical, rocky or heavily rutted terrain
- Trail and desert riders in fine dust where unsealed rod ends do not last
- Owners who have already bent or dragged a factory lower rod
- Riders rebuilding a rear end who want to fix geometry at the same time
- If you ride mostly dunes and open desert at speed, the 64" straight-rod 7075 kit is usually the better fit — clearance under the rod is not the constraint there
- 72" RS chassis owners need the 72" kit; the two widths do not interchange

Fitment
Fits 2017 and newer Can-Am Maverick X3 DS models on the 64" chassis, including the four-seat X3 Max on the same width. This is the 64" high clearance kit; it does not fit the 72" RS chassis, and the straight-rod kit is a separate part number. Confirm your chassis width before ordering. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed here.
FAQ
Is this the right kit for the 64" or the 72" X3?
The 64" DS chassis. LM UTV builds a separate 72" RS kit and the rods are not interchangeable between the two widths, so check your car before ordering.
What does high clearance change compared to a straight radius rod?
It raises the lower rod so it sits higher relative to rocks and rut edges. The mounting points do not change — it is still a direct bolt-on — but the rod is no longer the lowest thing back there.
Are the bearings sealed?
Yes. LM UTV specifies O-rings on all spherical bearings, and the bearings themselves are three-piece Chromoly with PTFE liners.
Can I set rear toe without removing the rods?
Yes. The kit uses RH/LH 5/8 bearings, so rear alignment can be adjusted with the rods on the car.
Does this replace all of my rear radius rods?
Yes. It is a six-piece kit covering the complete rear rod set rather than a lowers-only or uppers-only kit.
Do I need to cut or weld anything?
No. LM UTV lists this as a direct bolt-on replacement using the factory mounting points.
Why LM UTV
LM UTV designs and manufactures in-house in the USA and backs its parts with a lifetime warranty. The company works on specific OEM failure points across Can-Am and Polaris machines — radius rods, tie rods, ball joints and chassis reinforcement — rather than spreading across every category, which is why the spec sheet names bearing construction and spacer alloy instead of stopping at heavy duty.
Complete Your 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 Rear Suspension Build
New rods only hold up if what they bolt to holds up. Confirm the 64" DS chassis first, then look at the mounting side — a rear radius rod plate or pull plate and a double-shear bulkhead stop the mount from becoming the next thing that bends. Radius rod spacers, spare 5/8 bearings and a 64" lower-rod rebuild kit are worth stocking before a trip, and matching 64" tie rods and limit straps finish a full rear-end refresh.
