The rear radius rod mount is one of the weakest parts of the X3 chassis, and it usually announces itself at the worst possible time. This LM UTV rear radius rod plate reinforces the rear chassis and adds strength to that exact area on 2017-2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 models, spreading rod load across a plate machined from 6061 instead of leaving the factory mount to take it alone.
It installs as a direct bolt on replacement, comes machined finished, black powder coat or custom colors, and can be built out with accessories — tow hooks, hitch receiver, cage mounts, and custom logo plates that cover unused holes for a clean finished look.

Built To Solve: A Failing Rear Radius Rod Mount On The 2017-2021 Can-Am Maverick X3
- A mount that folds under a hard landing. Every bit of rear rod load arrives at one small area of the chassis, and that area is the first thing to deform.
- Bolt holes that elongate. Once the holes egg out, the rods shift under load and rear geometry stops holding a setting.
- Radius rods that become the next casualty. A sloppy or deformed mount loads the rod off-axis, so a mount problem turns into a rod problem and then an alignment problem.
- Repair work instead of a bolt-on part. Reinforcing the area ahead of time is a far smaller job than straightening or re-fabricating it after a bad day.
- A mismatched rear end after a rod upgrade. Stronger rods put more of the load back into the mount — the plate keeps the two sides of that equation in step.
Best For: 2017-2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 Owners On 64" And 72" Cars
- Maverick X3, X3 64, X3 72 and X3 Max owners on 2017 through 2021 machines
- Dune riders loading the rear end through steep faces and hard landings
- Desert and high-speed riders who take repeated impacts through the rear suspension
- Owners who have already upgraded rear radius rods and want the mount to match
- Riders who want tow hooks, a hitch receiver or cage mounts tied into the rear plate
- 2022 and newer X3 owners: this is not your plate. LM UTV builds a separate rear radius rod plate for 2022 and newer X3 models — order that one instead, the two are not interchangeable
- Polaris RZR owners need a RZR pull plate or radius rod plate, not an X3 plate

FAQ
Will this fit my 2022 or newer Maverick X3?
No. This plate fits all X3 models 2017-2021. Can-Am changed the car and LM UTV builds a separate rear radius rod plate for 2022 and newer X3 models — order that part number instead.
Why does the X3 need a rear radius rod plate at all?
The area the rear radius rods bolt into is one of the weakest parts of the X3 chassis. Under a hard landing it can tear, elongate its bolt holes, or fold, and once it does the rear geometry is gone and the rods are usually next. The plate spreads that load.
Does it fit both the 64in and 72in cars?
Yes. LM UTV lists it as fitting all X3 models in the 2017-2021 range, which covers 64in, 72in and X3 Max cars.
What is involved in installing it?
It is a Direct bolt on replacement — no cutting and no welding.
Can I add tow hooks or a hitch to it?
Yes. LM UTV lists tow hooks, a hitch receiver, cage mounts and custom logo plates as available accessories. The removable logo plate provides a clean finished look without exposed, unused holes.
What finish options are there?
It is offered machined finished, black powder coat or custom colors.
Why LM UTV
LM UTV combines engineering and manufacturing knowledge with modern design to build UTV parts that solve broken or malfunctioning OEM problems while still looking like they belong on the car. The parts are designed and made in the USA and come with a Lifetime Warranty, and LM UTV builds for both Polaris and Can-Am platforms — tie rods, radius rods, ball joints and chassis reinforcement.
Reinforce Your 2017-2021 X3 Rear End Before The Mount Gives
Check your model year first: this plate is for 2017 through 2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 cars, and 2022 and newer machines take the other plate. Once you have confirmed the year, pick your finish and decide whether you want tow hooks, a hitch receiver, cage mounts or a custom logo plate added to it. If you are already upgrading rear radius rods, this is the part that keeps them in a mount worth bolting to.
