Bump Steer Delete Tie Rod Kit (BSD)™ Can-Am Maverick X3 Models

Can-Am Maverick X3 Bump Steer Delete (BSD)™ Tie Rod Kit (Patented geometry location. Patent # 9,988,083 B1)

Our BSD™ Tie rod kit does wonders for your Can-Am Maverick X3. Through rigorous testing of our shop car, we found that the X3 RS had a lot of steering wheel feedback in the whoops. Especially, if you run a larger tire and turning in the whoops. After cycling the front suspension we found over 4 inches of bump steer in the factory system. Bump steer is a change in toe setting (front of tires closer together than the rear of the tires) through the cycle of front suspension travel. The best set up is as close to zero toe change as possible. If your front tires change toe setting they are essentially doing the same thing as you turning the steering wheel slightly on every bump you hit.  Bump steer is one of the biggest contributors to steering wheel feedback, twitchy drive ability, excessive front end wear and worn out forearms from trying to keep the car straight. So in an effort to eliminate all of these things we developed our BSD™ (bump steer delete™) tie rod kit for the X3. Our kit relocates the outer tie rod pivot point which changes the front end geometry and lowers the factory 4 inch bump steer measurement down to just 3/8 of an inch! With the bump steer removed the car is much easier to drive, steer and control. What used to be a two handed steering wheel grab to hold the car in whoops is now just a few fingers on one hand. Your front end parts will last longer. Your car will drive more predictably. Your forearms will have no arm pump. The whole driving experience will become easier. Don't wait, install our BSD™ Tie Rod Kit today

THIS KIT IS DESIGNED TO FIX THE GEOMETRY OF THE FACTORY ARM CONFIGURATION. ALL AFTER MARKET A ARMS CONFIGURATIONS PRODUCE A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF BUMP STEER. ***BUMP STEER MUST BE MEASURED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE KIT***

The factory car has ZERO adjust ability for alignment other than toe set. Caster and Camber can NOT be adjusted. Toe adjustment with our BSD kit will not affect any other aspect of the alignment since nothing else is adjustable. 

For all of you who may have already purchased a set of aftermarket tie rods for your X3 but want to fix your geometry with out buying the complete tie rod we have an answer for you. You can purchase our outer joint with the geometry fixing spacers and upgrade your aftermarket tie rods. You can buy these with the 5/8 Left Hand threaded rod ends or if you already have 5/8 rod ends in your tie rods you can just purchase the spacer kit. Both, the outer joint and spacer only kits, can be purchased HERE
