Will do. I ordered today two of the 8994212 ball joint kits from jimellissaabparts. They claim that they sell the genuine article. For the price it had better be the real deal.
If you go to the big auction site and search for 8994212 you'll find the part offered by sellers from the UK, and you can see a picture of the kit and the box. It is a white box marked "1 # 8994212" and "Made in Germany" and "ORIO AB" along with a bar code and some smaller print following ORIO AB.
I looked up ORIO AB. It is the new name (effective Nov. 13, 2013) of Saab Automobile Parts AB. I think this could explain the change from part number 8972135 to part number 8994212. If my hunch is correct then 8972135 parts (you can still find them) have been sitting on the shelf for a while.
I'll update after the shipment has arrived.
