Default AU diff swap - 3.08 to 3.45 LSD

I'm in the process of swapping my 3.08 open wheeler for a 3.45 LSD out of an AU XR6 HP. I know that the upper control arms are longer in the XR then the Forte and that they go into the rear hole on the diff housing. What I am wanting to know is if the lower arms on the XR are different to standard Forte. The XR ones I have seem to have a slight kink in them and I'm not sure if that are damaged or came like that in XR's. The drivers slide seems to have a larger kink in it than the passengers side.

Pulled the pin on the idea. I did find out that only the upper control arms are different, bottom are the same on all live axle AU's. I have a 3.45 LSD for sale now if anyone is interested.

Dunno but on mine it just bolted up no problems. My car is an au fairmont. I went from 3.23 to 3.45 lsd however.
