The factory radius rod on a 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 is the part that gives first, and once one is bent the rear alignment goes with it. This LM UTV six-piece kit replaces the complete rear rod set with massive 1.25in 7075 billet aluminum rods on 3/4 JMX heim ends, so the rear geometry holds instead of moving every time the car lands hard.
Every rod is adjustable through right-hand and left-hand rod ends, which means rear toe can be set with the rods still on the machine. Straight-rod geometry stays close to the factory line — the right choice for dune and high-speed desert riding, where ground clearance under the rod is not what limits you.

Built To Solve: Bent Rear Radius Rods On The 64" Can-Am Maverick X3
- Rods bending on landings and rock strikes. The factory rod is the soft point back there and it absorbs the damage.
- Rear alignment that drifts after a hard hit. A tweaked rod changes rear toe and the car stops tracking straight under power.
- Rod ends wearing out early. Play from a flexed rod loads the bearing off-axis and shortens its service life.
- Alignment adjustments that mean disassembly. RH/LH ends let toe be set in place instead of pulling rods.
- Replacing rods piecemeal. This is the full six-rod set, so the whole rear geometry is reset at once.
Best For: 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 Dune And Desert Riders
- 64" chassis owners running the narrower factory width
- Dune riders loading the rear end through soft transitions and steep faces
- Desert and high-speed riders who need rear geometry that survives repeated impacts
- Owners rebuilding a rear end after bending a factory rod
- Riders who want a straight-rod kit — if your terrain is rocky or heavily rutted and you want the lower rod lifted, the 64" high clearance kit is the better fit
- 72" RS chassis owners need the 72" kit; the widths do not interchange

Fitment
Fits 2017 and newer Can-Am Maverick X3 models on the 64" chassis, including the four-seat X3 Max on the same width. This is the straight-rod 64" kit — it does not fit the 72" chassis, and the high clearance version is a separate part number. Confirm your chassis width before ordering. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed here.
FAQ
Will these fit a 72" Can-Am Maverick X3?
No. This kit is built for the 64" chassis. LM UTV makes a separate 72" six-piece kit and the rods do not interchange between widths.
What is the difference between these and the high clearance rods?
These are straight 7075 rods that follow close to the factory line. The high clearance kit raises the lower rod to clear rocks and ruts and uses 6061 with sealed 5/8 bearings. Pick by terrain: straight for dunes and open desert, high clearance for rocky and rutted riding.
How strong are the rod ends?
LM UTV rates the JMX Teflon heims at over 28,000 static radial load, and the kit uses F1 bearing fitment with stainless steel bearing spacers.
Can I adjust rear alignment without removing a rod?
Yes. Right-hand and left-hand rod ends are what make on-car adjustment possible, so rear toe can be set without taking rods off the machine.
Do I need to cut or weld anything to install these?
No. LM UTV lists this as a direct bolt-on replacement using the factory mounting points.
Does the kit include all six rear rods?
Yes. It is a six-piece kit covering the complete rear rod set, not a lowers-only or uppers-only kit.
Why LM UTV
LM UTV designs and manufactures in-house in the USA and backs its parts with a lifetime warranty. The company builds around specific OEM failure points on Can-Am and Polaris machines — radius rods, tie rods, ball joints and chassis reinforcement — rather than covering every category thinly, which is why this kit's specs go down to the heim load rating and the spacer material.
Complete Your 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 Rear Suspension Upgrade
Radius rods are one piece of the rear end. Confirm you are on the 64" chassis and decide between this straight kit and the high clearance version before ordering. After the rods, the mount is what fails next — a rear radius rod plate or pull plate and a double-shear bulkhead hold the new rods in something that will not become the weak link. Spare heims, spacers and a 64" upper-rod rebuild kit belong on the shelf before a trip, and matching 64" tie rods and limit straps round out a full rear-end refresh.
