Two choices on this page, and getting either one wrong wastes the order. These are replacement bearing kits for our parts, and you select twice: bearings only, or bearing kits with spacers, o-rings and C-clips — then high clearance radius rod bearings or straight radius rod bearings. The two rod styles are listed as separate kits, so match the selection to the rods actually on your Can-Am Maverick X3.
If you are rebuilding a set of radius rods rather than chasing one bad joint, this is the listing. The with-hardware version adds the spacers, o-rings and C-clips so you are not reusing tired hardware on fresh bearings.
Key Features
- Replacement bearing kits for our parts
- Available with and without spacers and o-rings, and clips
- Bearings-only option: just the full replacement bearing kits
- With-hardware option: bearing kits with spacers, o-rings and C-clips
- Can-Am Maverick X3 High Clearance Radius Rod Bearings
- Can-Am Maverick X3 Straight Radius Rod Bearings
- Rod style and hardware level are chosen separately, so you order exactly the combination you need
Built To Solve: Rebuilding Can-Am Maverick X3 Radius Rods Without Replacing The Rods
- Worn bearings in otherwise good rods. The rods stay on the machine; only the bearings get replaced.
- Reusing worn spacers, o-rings and clips on new bearings. The with-hardware kit includes them so the whole joint goes back together fresh.
- Ordering the wrong rod style. High clearance and straight radius rod bearings are separate selections — a straight-rod kit is a wasted purchase on high clearance rods, and the reverse is equally true.
- Buying more than you need. If you already have the hardware, the bearings-only kit is the cheaper of the two.
Best For: Can-Am Maverick X3 Owners Rebuilding A Full Set Of Radius Rod Bearings
- Owners servicing LM UTV Can-Am Maverick X3 radius rods with multiple worn or notchy joints
- Riders doing a full off-season rebuild who want new spacers, o-rings and C-clips at the same time
- Anyone who has already sourced hardware and only needs the bearings
- If only one joint has play, buy the individual replacement bearing instead — it is sold singly in 5/8 and 3/4, in rod end and uniball form
- If you need spacers, o-rings or clips on their own with no bearings, the spare hardware listing is the right page

Fitment
Covers 2017 through 2027 Can-Am Maverick X3 models, including the 64" and 72" chassis and the four-seat X3 Max. Because these are replacement bearing kits for our parts, the selection that matters is which LM UTV radius rods you are running: high clearance or straight. Check the rods on the machine before ordering — the two are separate kits and do not substitute for each other. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed here.
FAQ
How do I tell whether I need the high clearance or the straight kit?
Look at the rods on the machine. High clearance rods are shaped to raise the lower rod away from rocks and ruts, while straight rods follow close to the factory line. The bearing kits are listed separately for each, so identify the rod style first and select to match.
What is the difference between the two hardware options?
One is just the full replacement bearing kit — bearings alone. The other is the bearing kit with spacers, o-rings and C-clips included. The vendor lists these kits as available with and without spacers and o-rings, and clips, so pick based on whether your existing hardware is still in good shape.
Should I reuse my old spacers, o-rings and clips?
If they are clean and undamaged, the bearings-only kit is enough. O-rings in particular are a wear item and are what keeps grit out of the joint, so if you are already pulling the rods apart it is usually worth taking the version with the hardware included.
I only have one bad joint. Do I need a whole kit?
No. LM UTV sells individual replacement bearings separately in 5/8 and 3/4, as rod ends in left hand and right hand thread and as uniballs. Buy the single bearing for one worn joint and save this listing for a full set.
Does this include the radius rods themselves?
No. These are replacement bearing kits for our parts — bearings, and hardware if you select that option. The rods are a separate product.
Will this fit radius rods from another brand?
These are listed as replacement bearing kits for our parts, so LM UTV rods are what we can confirm them for. Bearing bore, housing width and clip groove dimensions vary between manufacturers, so contact us before ordering for another brand's rods.
Why LM UTV
LM UTV builds around specific OEM failure points on Can-Am and Polaris machines — radius rods, tie rods, ball joints and chassis reinforcement. Offering the bearing kits separately from the rods, and splitting them by rod style and hardware level, is part of the same approach: the rods are meant to be serviced and kept, not replaced every time a joint wears out.
Rebuild Your Can-Am Maverick X3 Radius Rods
Confirm the rod style first — high clearance or straight — then decide whether you need the spacers, o-rings and C-clips with it. If only one joint is worn, the individual replacement bearings are the cheaper fix, and if you are only short on hardware, the spare hardware listing covers that on its own. Order the kit before the season rather than during it.
