I went cheap on my last axles 6 months ago because times were tight, now im going new. These axles say "front wheel drive axle" but says compatible with the 84 brat, just want to male sure these are for 4wd application not 2wd

The only difference  would be automatic  or  manual ,  they are different lengths.  And the " turbo  shafts  have a different spline count .  but  2wd  or  4wd  are the same ..

All ea81 axles are interchangeable, the turbo ea81's are still 23 spline. 2wd, 4wd, turbo, all the same front axles.

Ok, thought i read the 2wd ones are weaker, which is part of the problem with remans, thanks

In stock form the 4wd's had a smaller shaft than the fwd models. Fwd axles have have the same thickness shaft as early legacy axles. I've used them to build 5 lug ea81 width axles a few times.

Remans in general such because they're using substandard parts and minimal quality control.
