The Radius Arm Nut Weld Plate Makes Your Life Easier It sucks when you’re upgrading the radius arms on your Can-Am Maverick R, and the tack-welded nuts break off and spin. Forget getting a wrench back there to hold them in place. Instead, get SuperATV’s Radius Arm Nut Weld Plate. Its fully welded-on nuts won’t pop loose, and it’s easy to get in place.
Easy to install
Fully welded
Made of 3/16” steel
Built Better than Stock The nuts on this weld plate are fully welded—not tack welded. It’ll take more than a little too much juice with your impact to break them loose. They’re hand welded to a 3/16” steel plate that slips into place easily so you can bolt them up and get going. It’s easier to use and tougher than a standard radius rod nut retainer.

These rock slider steps have an interesting design and look good, unfortunately the build quality is less than expected. First, the access holes for the bolts are tight - whether they are too small or the coating makes them too small, I don’t know. I do know that it made the installation challenging. Once the bolts are seated and the nuts are tightened, the socket is wedged between the bolt head and the side of the access hole so tightly that you cannot remove the socket. I had to loosen the nut, pull the bolt partway back so I could remove the socket and then advance the bolt, wedge it in place with a flat screwdriver and tighten the nut from the other side. Especially challenging since the other side doesn’t allow room for a ratchet or closed wrench so you have to do it with the open side of a wrench. 5 out of 6 of the access holes were like this. The other worked like a charm and was super easy.
Secondly, the screws for the replaceable protector piece are easily jammed and broken. I read the instructions to take extra care to seat them properly but that doesn’t help when you cannot even remove some of them without them locking up and breaking off if you apply too much force. No matter how I seated them, I had 2 on one side and 5-7 of them on the other side that would get halfway in and lock up. I gave up and bought TEK screws and used them instead.
Thirdly, the welds were not uniform and looked amateurish. Fortunately they’re mostly hidden.
We’ll see how they perform once I get them out on the trails and rocks.
