Rival Aluminum Rear A-Arm Guards
Rear A-arms and CV joints are some of the most exposed and least protected components on an ATV or UTV — especially when riding in rocky terrain, wooded trails, or demanding off-road environments. Rival Aluminum Rear A-Arm Guards are engineered to deliver maximum protection where it matters most.
Manufactured from 3/16" marine-grade aluminum, these guards feature deep-stamped reinforcement and a raised leading edge designed to deflect impacts while shielding CV boots from sticks, rocks, and trail debris that can cause tears, grease loss, and premature joint failure. Recessed hardware and a smooth underside allow the guards to slide easily over obstacles instead of catching.
Designed to utilize factory mounting points and reinforced with additional brackets where required, installation is secure, durable, and straightforward. Integrated drainage holes prevent debris buildup and make cleaning and maintenance quick and hassle-free.
Built and tested by real powersports riders in real-world conditions, Rival Aluminum Rear A-Arm Guards deliver serious protection, long service life, and confidence on every ride.
