Can Am X3 Bump Steer Delete (BSD) Tie Rod Kit
Patented geometry location (Patent # 9,988,083 B1)
The BSD Tie Rod Kit is engineered to eliminate bump steer in the Can Am X3 RS. Through rigorous testing, we discovered the factory X3 RS system exhibits over 4 inches of bump steera change in toe setting through front suspension travel that causes steering wheel feedback, twitchy handling, excessive front-end wear, and driver fatigue.
Our kit relocates the outer tie rod pivot point to optimize front-end geometry, reducing bump steer from 4 inches down to just 3/8 of an inch. The result is easier steering control, improved predictability, longer-lasting front-end components, and reduced driver arm pump.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces bump steer from 4 inches to 3/8 inch
- Improved steering response and control in whoops
- Reduced steering wheel feedback and twitchy handling
- Extended front-end component lifespan
- Decreased driver fatigue
Important Notes:
- This kit is designed for factory arm configurations. Aftermarket A-arm configurations produce different bump steer amounts.
- Bump steer must be measured prior to installation.
- Factory vehicles have zero adjustability for caster and camber; only toe adjustment is possible with this kit.
- Toe adjustment will not affect other alignment aspects since nothing else is adjustable.
Upgrade Options:
If you already own aftermarket tie rods, you can purchase our outer joint with geometry-fixing spacers to upgrade your existing setup. Available with 5/8 inch left-hand threaded rod ends, or spacer kit only if you already have 5/8 inch rod ends installed.
For Assault Industries tie rods, a spacer kit is available separately.
