Genuine. Jeep service in Poland had to ordered it from Fiat/Jeep warehouse in Italy, as they did not had it in here. Cost 200 Euro + shipment. If it will broken again, i found one guy in Russia who do the extreme upper arm for KJ:

That looks like a version of a 4-Link Rear from the KK model. I was unaware that it fit the KJ. It is certainly not a KJ standard part frtom the Parts Manual. Do you have a Jeep Part Number for this item? It might be illegal in Australia as it was not part of the original rear suspension ADR approval. Of course you can buy and bolt on anything you choose, the problem comes when it fails or you have an accident and try and make an insurance claim.

Secondly, I would want to know if it would survive 200kms of bad corrugations on an outback track. My past experience with JBA rear suspension bits over corrugations suggests those bolts would enlarge the holes in those arms allowing ever increasing movement until a failure in the diff bolt area. It's probably fine if your just driving around the city with an occasional weekend track outing.

This is the unit made in Russia by Arkady Minchenkov probably not going to be ok in the event of a crash insurance will find any excuse. I believe they are well tested and definitely not used only on road as for corrugations that is anyone's guess . They do look to be a stronger unit than the JBA

Believe it or not, Facebook links are useless to the many people that do not use it. If you have a standard html link then post that.
