Welcome to our MOTO1988 Wheel Bearings category, where you'll find top-tier replacement parts tailored for demanding Can-Am ATV and UTV owners. These heavy-duty bearings, sized at 30x60x37mm and including a circlip, are engineered for both front and rear applications on models like Maverick, Commander, Outlander, Renegade, Defender HD8/HD10, and more—delivering the smooth, reliable performance you need for off-road adventures.
Why MOTO1988 Stands Out in Wheel Bearings
MOTO1988 has built a solid reputation for producing robust automotive replacement parts that prioritize durability and precision. Their wheel bearings are crafted from high-grade materials to withstand extreme conditions, vibrations, and loads common in powersports vehicles. Unlike generic options, MOTO1988 bearings feature sealed designs that resist contaminants, extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency.
What sets MOTO1988 apart is their focus on direct-fit compatibility for popular Can-Am models, including OEM cross-references like 293350118, 293350040, and 293350150. This makes them a go-to choice for DIY mechanics and professional shops alike. If you're maintaining a fleet of DS450, 330/400/450/500/570/650/800/850/1000 series machines, these bearings provide the heavy-duty reliability to keep you rolling without downtime.
Key Features to Consider
- Dimensions and Design: Precisely 30x60x37mm inner/outer diameter with included circlip for secure installation and optimal load distribution.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to handle high-speed impacts and torque, ideal for rugged terrains.

When shopping in this category, prioritize bearings that match your vehicle's exact specs to avoid vibrations or premature wear. MOTO1988 excels here with its proven track record in powersports applications.
Common Use Cases and Buying Guide
Wheel bearings are critical for safe handling, as they support the vehicle's weight while allowing smooth rotation. Worn bearings lead to noise, play in the wheel, or even failure—issues amplified in off-road use. MOTO1988 bearings shine in scenarios like trail riding, utility work, or racing on Maverick, Outlander, or Defender models.
To choose the right one, verify your Can-Am model's year and trim against the compatibility list. For broader automotive needs, explore our Replacement Parts section. If you're comparing options, brands like MOOG Wheel Bearings offer premium alternatives, but MOTO1988 provides exceptional value for Can-Am enthusiasts.
Installation is straightforward with basic tools: jack up the vehicle, remove the wheel and hub assembly, press out the old bearing, and install the new one with the circlip. Always torque to manufacturer specs for safety. For related components, check Bearings & Seals or step back to our Wheel Bearings hub.
Installation Tips for Longevity
Proper install maximizes MOTO1988's potential. Use a bearing press or driver tool to avoid damage, apply fresh grease, and align perfectly. Post-install, test for smooth rotation and no play. Pair with quality hubs from Automotive replacements for complete refreshes. Compared to A-Premium Wheel Bearings, MOTO1988 offers superior sealing for wet environments.
