My lower ball joints are different!

[Hmmwv Brit]

Hi all!

I'm replacing a lower ball joint on my M1025A2 and the one thats come is different to any parts I've found on the web. It has a double thickness plate. Anyone know if this is a heavy duty upgrade or similar? It has no part number on it. The holes are larger like the newer ball joints.

I couldn't find one on it anywhere.

Where is it that you ordered it from?

if it's a genuine OEM part the number should be the same as the above picture.

Thanks for the replies. There is no part number in that location, it's a lower ball joint. I think it must be an uprated ball joint. This HMMWV was a GMV, probably something to do with it. The joint itself was fine, I just swapped the gator of the new joint and reinstalled it.

A0/A1 lower ball joints are 3/8 mounting holes, A2 on up are all 7/16 mounting holes.
if your truck is an A2, it should be 7/16 Moog problem solver BJ’s
