August 3, 200718 yr You sure can. There is just a slight difference in the axles, but nothing to worry.
August 4, 200718 yr What's the difference? The actual shaft diameters are different. However, the cup and stub are the same, and they're the same length.
August 4, 200718 yr This is a little off the point, but Ive found out that on the ea82s the 2wd have differents splines and and don't fit on a 4wd, cuz I tried replacing mine with a pair from a 2wd, but they didn't work. Anyways, just wanted to mention that. -Bill
August 4, 200718 yr Author Thanks for the help guys. I've yet to swap them, but hopefully it'll get done sunday.

Anyways, just wanted to mention that.-Bill No way man. Something else was up there. All non-turbo EA82s* use 23 spline axles. Now there is a difference between 2wd and 4wd joints themselves, with the later being larger and tougher. But really in the end any 23 spline EA82 axle will fit on the front end. The only EA82 cars with different spline counts where the 2wd MT Turbos and all 4wd Turbos* *XTs are different. 85-87 Turbo 2wd Auto(3at), and all Non-turbo= 23 spline 85-87 Turbo 2wd MT, and all Turbo 4wd = 25 spline 88-91 4 Cyl MT 2wd and 4wd =23 spline 88-91 4 Cyl Auto(4EAT) and all XT6 = 25 spline
