Can-Am X3 Rear Knuckles
The Can-Am X3 Rear Knuckles from Black Ops Machine are the ultimate fix for one of the most common failure points on the Maverick X3. If you drive your X3 the way it was meant to be driven—hard—then upgrading your OEM rear knuckles isn’t optional, it’s inevitable.
Every mud hole, rut, whoop, and jump puts massive stress on factory rear knuckles. OEM Can-Am X3 rear knuckles are notorious for getting wallowed out, cracking, or failing outright—usually at the worst possible time. That’s why Black Ops Machine engineered a double shear X3 rear knuckle upgrade that delivers strength, rigidity, and reliability where it matters most.
These X3 rear billet knuckles are CNC-machined from 6061 billet aluminum and feature a double shear mounting design, dramatically increasing strength compared to the OEM single-shear setup. The double shear design distributes load more evenly, reducing flex and minimizing the risk of catastrophic failure under aggressive riding conditions.
To further extend component life, each Can-Am X3 rear knuckle includes a sealed bearing carrier. This keeps mud, water, sand, and debris out of your wheel bearings—helping prevent premature bearing failure and costly repairs.
Finished in a hard anodized black coating, these rear knuckles don’t just perform—they look damn good doing it.
⚠️ Important: Rear knuckles should always be replaced in pairs, which is why these are sold as a left/right set.

🔹 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What causes Can-Am X3 rear knuckle failure?
A: Repeated hard impacts, water intrusion, bearing wear, and OEM single-shear design weaknesses are the most common causes.
Q: Why is double shear better than single shear?
A: A double shear rear knuckle uses two mounting points instead of one, dramatically increasing strength and reducing the chance of breakage or wallowed mounts.
