The LM-UTV Can-Am Maverick R rear radius rod nut plate is a direct replacement designed to fix a known OEM weak point.
Why the OEM Maverick R Nut Plate Fails
The stock Maverick R rear nut plates are thin steel, a single nut, and one small tack weld. The first time you pull your radius rods, there's a good chance that weld lets go. Once it spins, you're in a tough spot.
We learned this lesson years ago when we used to weld nuts just like everyone else, and saw the same problems firsthand: heat from welding warps the plate, damages threads, and a broken weld means a spinning nut with no way to torque the bolt. So we engineered a better solution.
The LM-UTV Difference
Our 3-piece captured nut plate design eliminates all of those failure points. The nut is fully captured and floats freely, allowing it to self-center as the bolt is driven in — no cross-threading, no fighting alignment. No welding means no heat damage to threads or the plate. And if a thread ever does get damaged, the plate comes apart easily so you can replace just the nut — not the whole assembly.
Some competing nut plates don't fully capture the nut, which turns a simple install into a frustrating one — nuts falling out of the plate while you're trying to work underneath the machine. Ours stay put, so the job gets done without the headache.
