@glend
I don't have a standard html link for that cause this guy have no standard internet site, just a facebook where you can have a look at what and how he is doing parts for KJ. I know that many KJ owners from Poland bought it from him and they are happy with it, they have done thousends of miles in offroad condition and everythink is good. If someone do not have an FB, they can try to look at this from a friend who have FB.

I have no idea if it is legal or not in Australia, it is not in Poland if you drive on the public road, but if you use it only for off road, outside the public road, it is not a problem at all.

so legallity aside, i have to replace the boomerang.
what would the advantage of using a 4 link instead of the factory arm be? does it help with flex? i know i know, kj's aren't built to flex, I'd like some opinions before i shell out $722.97 on 4 link rear uca's

I know nothing about the above boomerang. But I did replace the bushes on mine last year with the SuperPro bushes and they are impressive. I've gotten around 110,000km out of each of the two previous ball joints so hopefully will get that again.

YOu can retain your existing boomerang and simply replace the bushings (boomerang to body ones), and the Diff balljoint,; or buy the compelete Boomerang assembly from a place like IDParts:

https://www.idparts.com/rear-upper-c...76-p-6147.html

or others online.
The times I had to change my Upper Ball joint on the Boomerang, the first two times I just changed the balljoint and it is a bitch of a job to get out and press the new one in. The last time I simply bought the whole boomerang from IDparts, and you get the body bushings included.

I see IDparts wants $129 USD, and I don't thin the shipping was too bad, bu the exchange rate is pretty bad now. Still it saves alot of time, and certainly saved me money.

You do need to be very careful when changing that rear boomerang, as the bolts that secure it to the body screw into captive nut fittings which are spot welded into pockets in the body (and you cannot get a tool onto those nuts). I recall a certain KJ owner in WA who had to cut out the rear floor area to access a nut in the captive pocket which he had busted loose with a ratchet gun, so he could reweld it in the pocket.
Do your research before you try it, and only use hand tools.
