FAQs
Are these bearings greasable?
These are heavy-duty, sealed units designed for longevity. While some specialized applications might benefit from periodic inspection, they are not designed for routine greasing like standard bearings.
What is the primary benefit of using these bearings over stock?
The primary benefit is significantly improved strength and rigidity due to the oversize, heavy-duty internals and heat-treated 4140 Chromoly housing, making them more resistant to failure under extreme off-road conditions.
Can I use these on a Can-Am Commander?
No, these bearings are specifically designed and compatible only with 2017+ Can-Am Maverick X3 models.
Do I need special tools for installation?
While not always required, specialized bearing pullers and presses are often recommended for proper and safe removal and installation to avoid damaging the bearing or the hub assembly.
How many bearings are included in this set?
This set includes four (4) wheel bearings, enough to replace all four wheels on your vehicle.
What does 'heat-treated 4140 Chromoly' mean for durability?
Heat treatment hardens the 4140 Chromoly steel, increasing its tensile strength and resistance to wear and deformation, which is crucial for components subjected to high stress.
Troubleshooting
Wheel bearing noise (grinding, clicking)
Inspect the bearing for contamination or wear. Ensure proper installation and lubrication. If noise persists, the bearing may need replacement.
Excessive play in the wheel
Check that the bearing is correctly seated and that all mounting hardware is tightened to specification. Loose components or improper installation can cause play.
Bearing failure after moderate use
Verify that the correct model year and variant of the Can-Am Maverick X3 was used. Confirm installation procedures were followed precisely, especially regarding torque specifications and lubrication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This set is specifically designed for 2017 and newer Can-Am Maverick X3 models, including variants such as the 900 Turbo, DS, RC, MAX, X, MR, and RS-DPS. Ensure your vehicle model and year fall within this range before installation.
Setup: Installation is intended as a direct replacement for original equipment. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic or an experienced individual familiar with UTV suspension and drivetrain components. Proper seating and lubrication according to manufacturer specifications are crucial for performance and longevity. Failure to install correctly can lead to premature wear or component damage.
Care: Regularly inspect wheel bearings for signs of wear, play, or damage. After riding in wet or muddy conditions, clean the surrounding area and check for any ingress of dirt or water. While these bearings are heavy-duty, maintaining a clean environment and listening for any unusual noises (like grinding or clicking) can help identify issues early.
