The GD and GE are separate generations with different platform geometry, so the front cross member is not a like-for-like swap across that 1992 boundary. Parts from within the same generation are the better starting point, but even then you should confirm the exact interchange with the breaker against your registration number before buying.
Both years fall within the GE generation (1992–1997), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but confirm with the breaker against your registration because mid-generation running-gear revisions can affect mounting points. Never assume fitment without that check.
The GF ran from 1997 to 2002 and parts from within that generation are generally your best match, but confirm with the breaker against your registration as there can be detail differences across the production run. Giving the breaker your full reg is the quickest way to verify the exact part needed.
Trim level does not affect front cross member fitment on the 626; the LX, GLX, and Sport share the same subframe design within a given generation. Engine size is worth mentioning to the breaker, as a larger-engined car can carry slightly different ancillary brackets, so quote your engine size alongside your reg when getting a quote.
The cross member itself is typically shared across engine sizes within a generation, but mounting brackets and support cradles can differ where a heavier engine is fitted. Confirm with the breaker using your exact registration so they can check the casting and bracket configuration before dispatch.
Without knowing the year you cannot confirm which generation it belongs to, and fitment varies significantly between the GD (1987–1992), GE (1992–1997), and GF (1997–2002) platforms. It is best to walk away or insist the seller checks the donor car's registration so the breaker can confirm it matches your vehicle before you commit.
