2WD and AWD front axles are compatible
OK - so I bought the Advance Auto part (new GSP Chinese made axle)and will put it in tomorrow. What convinced me was I went to either NAPA or some other web site and it when looking to order, it showed the years and drive type associated with the same parts (all years, FWD orr AWD). So as far as I can tell, the FWD is the same part, albeit a slightly larger shaft to handle more torque. So I will know for sure tomorrow, but if it works I will probably also do the other side when I can to keep the same balance (theoretically the left side would be transmitting greater load to the diff via the fact it was spinning larger mass which is momentum (Mass time Velocity) related inertia.
