One thing to keep in mind with this kit: It will not change the gross vehicle weight
(GVW) or allowable payload of your vehicle. That would require several other con-
figuration changes for performance and safety reasons.
Kits are being procured and man-
aged by DLA (S9C). Work continues
on incorporating recommended
changes to the kit (such as front
springs, front shocks, tie rod assem-
blies, and radius rods), which will
not only allow the kit to be used as an
upgrade, but still makes it a great kit
for the repair of suspension/steering
components on a tired HMMWV.
This was expected to happen some-
time during the Jun 05 deliveries.
First priority is given to trucks in
SWA. CONUS started getting the
kits during the Sep 05 timeframe.

aving problems with suspension and steering components on older HMMWVs?
You no longer need to order each and every part individually. TACOM and the PM
for Light Tactical Vehicles developed a kit to improve the suspension and steering
components, especially those with add-on armor.
The new suspension and steering upgrade kit comes with NSN 2530-01-524-
7319. The kit includes the pitman arm, idler arm, center link, upper and lower con-
trols arms, ball joints, rear springs and shocks found on the M1097A2 vehicle for
the rear of basic and A1 HMMWVs. This kit is estimated to take 14 hours to install,
with frame welding required. HMMWVs in SWA will have the kit installed when
they to go through the TWV Refurbishment Center, so see your DLA Customer
Service Representative or TACOM LAR for more information before you order.
