Clip a stump with a stock A-arm on your Can-Am Maverick X3 and the ride is over; now you're limping back to the truck. These high-clearance boxed front A-arms are made to keep that from happening. They're stronger than stock, they give you an extra 1.5" of ground clearance to stay above ruts and rocks, and they have adjustable pivot blocks so you can set camber if you add a lift or bigger tires later. They're made for 72" wide X3 models.
Why Riders Pick Them
- Boxed steel construction for heavy-duty impact protection
- High-clearance bends that keep the arms above trail obstacles
- Vehicle-specific fit for an easy, secure install
- UV-resistant powder coat that helps prevent chips, corrosion, and fading
- Lifetime A-arm warranty to protect your purchase
Extra Clearance Without a Lift
The high-clearance bends in these arms give you an extra 1.5" of space under the front end. Your Maverick X3 will get over rocks, logs, and ruts more smoothly without needing a lift kit. Next time out, you can be the one breaking trail instead of the one stuck behind it.
Strength You Can Count On
When you're bashing through brush and trees, you need control arms that won't snap no matter how hard you ride. These boxed A-arms are built from 1/8" heavy-duty steel plate, 25% larger than stock, so they can take a beating. A UV-resistant powder coat finish keeps them protected from corrosion. They're backed by a lifetime warranty, so they're built to be the last front arms you buy for your X3.
Easy Camber Adjustment
Adjustable pivot blocks give you more control over your setup. They're preadjusted to stock specs out of the box, so you don't have to change anything if you're running a stock ride height. If you add a lift or extra weight later, being able to adjust camber can save your tires from wearing out early.
Order With Ball Joints Preinstalled
Want more trail time and less garage time? Choose a set of ball joints in the options and they come installed in the new arms, so you don't have to press them in yourself.
Note: If you don't choose preinstalled ball joints when you order, you'll need to reuse your stock ball joints.
Super Duty 300M Ball Joints
Made from 300M grade steel, one of the strongest ball joint materials around, with a design that makes the most of it. They have an easy-to-reach grease zerk and an adjustable steel-on-steel design that's simple to keep maintained. They're 2.25x stronger than stock.
Keller Ball Joints
Keller ball joints use a two-piece design with no snap ring. They thread into the A-arm like a nut and bolt, which makes them almost impossible to pull out. They have a high-quality chromoly steel stud and a tool-steel body, which makes them a strong choice for bigger machines, bigger tires, and bigger rides. They're greaseable and rebuildable.
Heavy-Duty Ball Joints
Built for performance and convenience, the heavy-duty ball joints use hardened 4340 VAR steel with zinc plating, so they hold up to jumps and hill climbs. They have easy-to-reach grease zerks and an adjustable design, and testing shows they can take twice the pressure of an OEM ball joint.
A Standard Duty ball joint option is offered too.
Boxed A-Arm Questions
Will these fit a 64" X3?
No. These arms are listed for 72" wide Maverick X3 models only, and they are not compatible with Smart-Shox models. Check your exact trim and year against the fitment table below before ordering.
What size tires can I run?
These arms fit tires up to 30".
Do they come with bushings?
No. You can reuse your OEM bushings if they're in good shape, or install aftermarket replacement bushings while the arms are off.
Do I need to adjust camber?
Not at stock height. The pivot blocks are preset to stock specs. If you add a lift or carry extra weight, you can adjust camber to keep the tires wearing evenly.
