Baja Race 4130 Chromoly Steel Performance Steering Knuckles - Maverick R

Can-Am Maverick R – Baja Race Chromoly Uprights

AVID Racing Can-Am Maverick R Baja Race Chromoly Uprights offer the same revised front suspension geometry as AVID's billet milled steering knuckles, in a high-strength, more affordable package . Machined from precision-cut and TIG-welded 4130 chromoly plates, with true double-shear vertical uniball joints, these steering knuckles maintain the full AVID RACE geometry parameters : KPI, scrub radius, caster, and camber gain. The result is precise, stable handling for the Maverick R at high speeds .

Despite their plate construction, these steering knuckles meet the same quality standards as AVID's billet products. All key pivot points utilize fully milled steel bushings (pivot bosses) , ensuring the bolt shank operates perfectly in shear, and the suspension moves smoothly, precisely, and consistently. The milled elements visible in the photos demonstrate well-thought-out load transfer paths, high durability, and perfect fit.

Designed to work with the complete AVID Maverick R Baja or RACE kit , these chromoly knuckles are designed to be installed as part of a complete system. They provide significantly greater strength than stock cast knuckles while keeping the overall project cost reasonable .

The lower pivot point is in the same location as the stock steering knuckle , allowing these steering knuckles to be used with select lower control arms from other manufacturers that utilize a vertical pivot or bearing in the lower mount. The upper control arm must be an AVID control arm or a custom-made component compatible with AVID geometry and a uniball configuration.

What does this mean in practice?

• Sharper, more precise turning – adjusted KPI and scrub radius improve tire contact with the ground and reduce steering effort at high speeds.

• Greater stability in challenging terrain – better camber and caster control provides predictable, confident handling on washboards, ruts and landings.

• A huge leap in strength over stock steering knuckles – 4130 chromoly construction, milled steel pivot points and double-shear uniballs are significantly more resistant to deflection and cracking than stock castings.

• Compatibility with aftermarket lower control arms – can be used with selected lower control arms using a vertical joint or uniball in the stock location, when using an AVID or custom upper control arm.
