JAVIK Ball Joint Kit for Can-Am 2012–2023 — Full 2 Upper/2 Lower Kit with Hardware, Iron & Rubber

JAVIK Upper & Lower Ball Joint Kit replaces worn ball joints on compatible Can-Am ATVs and UTVs to restore precise steering and stable suspension. If your Can-Am is showing steering slop, noise over bumps, or uneven tire wear, degraded ball joints are a common cause. This JAVIK kit includes two upper and two lower ball joints plus the fasteners needed for a like-for-like replacement, designed to fit a wide range of Can-Am Outlander, Renegade, Maverick, Commander, Defender and Traxter models from roughly 2011–2023. The components are engineered from iron and rubber with OEM cross-reference numbers so you can match the kit to factory service parts.

Which Can-Am models will this JAVIK ball joint kit fit?

The kit covers many popular Can-Am ATVs and UTVs produced across several model years. Check the list below against your vehicle's year and model before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• ATV fitment examples: Outlander 450/500/570/650/700/800/850/1000 and Renegade series (various years up to 2023).

How are the JAVIK ball joints constructed and what problems do they address?

These ball joints combine iron housings with rubber boots to balance strength and sealing. They support steering knuckles and control arms, so replacing worn joints helps reduce play, eliminate clunks, and restore predictable steering feel without replacing larger suspension components.

• Iron body for structural strength and load resistance.
• Rubber boots to keep contamination out and grease in.
• Includes OEM cross-reference numbers for straightforward matching.

What comes in the JAVIK package and is it ready for direct installation?

The kit is sold as a complete set with hardware, giving you the typical parts needed when doing a ball joint service. Depending on vehicle condition and workshop tooling, pressing or special tools may be required to remove the factory joints and install the new ones.

• 2x lock nuts, 2x split pins and 4x circlips to secure assemblies.

Will I need special tools or professional installation?

Basic mechanical experience is sufficient for many DIYers, but removal and installation of ball joints often require a press, ball-joint separator, or torque tools to meet factory torque specs. If you lack tools or experience, a professional suspension shop can install them quickly and verify alignment afterward.

• Ball-joint press or press adapter usually recommended for safe removal/installation.
• Torque wrench to secure lock nuts to specification and protect components.
• Wheel alignment is advised after installation to prevent rapid tire wear.
