New here, but think you guys can help me. I bought a 2012 Liberty that has damage to the right front steering assembly. I need new axle shaft, stabilizer, connector, etc...everything!! But...I am out of the US and need to know what other models have parts I can swap with in case I can't find my specific model. I heard that Cherokee parts are compatible. Can anyone help me?

2008 through 2012 parts are mostly compatible. some 08 parts if I remember may be problematic.

KKs and KJs are basically the same besides look and nany features on the KK.

go to the junk yard and find a liberty. I know axles are 20 bucks at the yards around me.

As said, 08-12 will basically share everything. Electrical wise you need to be careful. Most will swap, some won't. For those, the break is generally 08-10 and 11-12. If you're unsure of something just ask us.

As for suspension. KJs (02-07) will share front springs, shocks, mounting plates and a few other things. You can make the KJ clevis work, but I believe it's shorter so stick with a KK.

You mentioned that you aren't in the US. Other countries outside of North America call the Liberty a "Cherokee". It will be the same Jeep aside from some options that only Euro specs get(like a diesel...).

Dodge Nitros are essentially the same vehicle as well.
