Default Swapping in a temporary stock 10 bolt (??)

So I seem to have tweaked the axle bearing or something when I broke a wheel stud on my '02 WS6.

Its a 3-channel 3.42 rear and I was thinking it might be best to just swap in another to keep me on the road with out the wobble I'm getting currently.

So what years can I get a rear from? It would have to also be from a T-56 car to have 3.42s and would have to be a 3-channel, not 4, correct?

This seems like it's actually a blessing in disguise, since I could use my original rear to start an 8.8 build while still being able to drive the car with a donor rear.

I'd appreciate if someone could give me some guidance.

If temporary I really wouldn't be worried about the 3/4 channel junk. And to keep the same width you'll want any 93-02 rear.

93-02 would keep the same width but 98-02 would be preferred.
4 channel traction control started in 1995 as an option.
I believe 93-97 LT1 had different E-brake cabling at the backing plate,different backing plates,different calipers and caliper bracket.
Some V6s' were opted with 3.42s'/posi(included in V6 performance handling package)
