GLCraig Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 It can be used but the 2wd axle isn't as strong as a 4wd axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sucker king Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 yes for sure, i have used two wheel drive axels on a 4wd car. and i believe craig to be right about strength. if you look up part #s the axels are different for 2 and 4 wheel drive. but it will fit.

GLCraig Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 the difference is the size of the joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 The difference is not just the size of the joints - the 4WD shaft is 2mm larger in diameter. Joint is also bigger as noted above. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
