Stock Can-Am Maverick X3 ball joints rely on a snap ring to stay in the A-arm, and that's the weak point when you ride hard, lift the machine, or run bigger tires. Keller ball joints fix it with the original two-piece threaded design: you press the joint in, then thread the housing on to lock it to the A-arm, so it won't pull out no matter what. Studs and housings are hardened 4340 chromoly, and the joints are greaseable, adjustable, and rebuildable.
Highlights
- 4340 hardened chromoly steel construction
- Two-piece threaded design, no snap ring required
- Easily adjustable, rebuildable, and greaseable
- Robust boot retaining ring prevents water intrusion
The Original Two-Piece Ball Joint
The snap ring is the problem with OEM ball joints. Keller's original design replaces it with a threaded chromoly housing that locks the joint into the arm. If you're tired of wearing out or popping ball joints just because you ride hard, this is the upgrade.
Top Strength and Quality
From the first line of the design to the last cut on the lathe, these joints are built to be among the best on the market. Hardened 4340 chromoly studs and housings handle the abuse, and the joints are fully greaseable and adjustable. What really sets them apart is how they mount: press it in, then thread the housing on to secure it, a far more secure hold than OEM.
Go Big, Not Home
OEM and typical heavy-duty ball joints all depend on a snap ring. Keller ball joints don't, which lets you run big lifts and big tires through nasty terrain without popping joints out of the arms. They're built to be the last ball joints you buy, so you spend less time in the garage.
Ordering
Choose an upper joint, a lower joint, or an upper and lower pair. For both sides of the front, order two of your selection.
