Default AU K frame and other Q's

Can some one tell me if the au's share a common K frame for the 6 and the 8?

Also GVM and TARE for the 6 and the 8

I know this is a long shot but ir anyone knows the diameter of the front spindles that would be great!

Thanks

Im not sure to be honest, lol. It was on the front of an XR8 wagon, so it could be off the XR8 donor car, or the 6 cylinder wagon.

Yep - only E series had different K frames, but for all 3 AU series, they are the same.
