Take a look at this photo HERE
I found it under my jeep the yesterday... I was working on the ball joints that day but in the past month I have done a ton of different things on it.
It's a 2000 sport automatic.
Anyone know?

First off was it nice and clean like that or all dirty & greasy?
Second do any of the neighbor kids have a slingshot and is anything broken or dented nearby?

the centering ball is not perfectly round, it has a hole in it for the spring.
it appears to me it could be a ball bearing from the wheel hub/bearing.
either that or someone is playing a mean foolies joke on you.

Well its not the muffler bearing.. I just replaced them today, like I always do on the 1st of each month.
So It seems to me that it cannot be from the cv joint because some say its not round and had a hole which this does not. agree?
It was just a little big greasy but pretty clean..shiny.. no dents... there are some faint ring marks on it about half the diamater size of the ball bearing itself.
I dont think this could have been a prank.. I had swept before I brought it in that morning and no one elts was around but me...and that garage door was shut...
keep the ideas coming!
