Read this before ordering: LM UTV lists the required companion part for this kit as its rear Pull Plate ( Part # LMU-RRP-02-01 ), but that part number is the 2017-2021 rear plate and this bulkhead kit is for 2022 and newer cars, so confirm the correct plate for your car with us before you order. The kit reinforces the rear chassis, puts the rear radius rods in double shear and reverses the rear bolts.
The requirement itself is not in doubt — LM UTV states this bulkhead must be used with its rear pull plate, and it is not a standalone part. What needs checking is which plate part number is correct for a 2022+ car. We would rather flag that now than have you fit a 2017-2021 plate to a 2022 chassis and find out on the bench.

Built To Solve: Single-Shear Rear Radius Rod Mounts On The 2022 And Newer Can-Am Maverick X3
- Rear radius rod mounts that tear or elongate. The factory mounts are single shear. This kit puts the rear radius rods in double shear so the load passes through two points instead of one.
- A rear chassis section LM UTV calls one of the weakest parts of the X3 Chassis. The Rear Bulkhead design reinforces the rear chassis and adds strength there.
- Rear bolts sitting the wrong way round. The kit reverses the rear bolts.
- Having to pull the whole rear plate to change one rod. The design allows 1 Radius rod to be removed without removing the rear plate.
- Reinforcement that has to hold up long term. It is direct bolt on but will need to drill a few holes, and it can be welded on for a permanent installation.
Best For: 2022 And Newer Can-Am Maverick X3 Owners Reinforcing The Rear Chassis
- Owners of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 Maverick X3 cars, 64" or 72", including the four-seat X3 Max
- Riders who land the car on the rear end and are working the rear radius rod mounts hard
- Owners who have already damaged a rear mount and want it rebuilt in double shear rather than repaired back to stock
- Builders adding power, travel or tire size beyond what the OEM rear mounts were designed around
- Anyone comfortable drilling a few holes, or having the kit welded on
- Do not order this as a standalone part. LM UTV requires it to be used with its rear pull plate, and the part number it lists ( LMU-RRP-02-01 ) is the 2017-2021 plate — ask us to confirm the right plate for your 2022+ car first
- 2017-2021 cars need the 2017-2021 rear bulkhead kit instead; this one is listed for cars made in 2022 or after
- If the problem is the front A-arm mounts rather than the rear radius rods, the LM UTV front gusset kit is the part for that end of the car

Fitment
Fits 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 Can-Am Maverick X3 models. LM UTV lists it as fitting all X3 models Made in 2022 or after, which covers 64" and 72" cars and the four-seat Maverick X3 Max in those years. Cars built from 2017-2021 use the separate 2017-2021 rear bulkhead kit. On the companion plate: LM UTV lists the required plate as Part # LMU-RRP-02-01, which is its 2017-2021 rear pull plate, so contact us to confirm the correct rear pull plate for a 2022 or newer car before ordering rather than assuming that number is right. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications not listed here.
FAQ
Which rear pull plate does this 2022+ kit actually need?
LM UTV lists the requirement as "Must be used with our rear Pull Plate ( Part # LMU-RRP-02-01 )". That part number is LM UTV's 2017-2021 rear pull plate, while this bulkhead kit is listed for cars made in 2022 or after, so the two do not line up. The requirement to run a pull plate is real; the part number needs confirming. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm the correct rear pull plate for your 2022 or newer car.
Can I run this bulkhead kit without a pull plate?
No. LM UTV states the bulkhead must be used with its rear pull plate. It is designed as part of a two-piece rear assembly, not as a standalone reinforcement.
What does putting the rear radius rods in double shear change?
The factory rear radius rod mounts are single shear, so the load passes through one point. Double shear supports the bolt on both sides and carries the same landing through two points. That is the OEM failure point this kit is built around.
Is this a true bolt-on, or does it need drilling?
LM UTV lists it as direct bolt on but will need to drill a few holes. Budget time for drilling. All hardware is included, and it can be welded on if you prefer a permanent installation.
Will this fit a 2020 Can-Am Maverick X3?
No. This kit is listed for all X3 models made in 2022 or after. LM UTV builds a separate rear bulkhead kit for 2017-2021 cars and the two are not interchangeable. Check your model year first.
Do I have to remove the rear plate to change one radius rod?
No. The design allows 1 Radius rod to be removed without removing the rear plate, so a single rod can come out without dismantling the whole rear of the car.
Why LM UTV
LM 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 spans both Polaris and Can-Am models — tie rods, radius rods and ball joints among them — with more makes, models and parts being added frequently.
Set Up The Rear End Of Your 2022+ Can-Am Maverick X3 Correctly
This bulkhead only does its job as part of a pair with an LM UTV rear pull plate, so start there: message us with your model year and we will confirm which plate goes with this kit before anything ships. Once the rear mounts are in double shear, upgraded rear radius rods, fresh heims and bearings and the front gusset kit for the A-arm mounts are the logical next steps. One order, the right parts, no return shipping.
