Can-Am Defender Rear Control Arm Link Bar Kit High Lifter

Can-Am Defender Rear Control Arm Link Bar Kit

Protect your lifted Defender with the High Lifter Can-Am Defender rear control arm link bar kit. Built for demanding off-road use, this heavy-duty rear suspension upgrade helps protect control arms and frame tabs from impact stress caused by rocks, logs, deep mud, rough trails, jumps, and winching strain.

A control arm or A-arm is strongest against side-to-side force, but it can be more vulnerable to front and rear impact. When your Can-Am Defender takes a hard hit or gets pulled through thick mud, the rear control arms and mounting points can bend or fail. This Can-Am Defender Rear Control Arm Link Bar Kit adds extra reinforcement to help reduce costly suspension damage and keep your UTV ready for the next ride.
