Cheers

Yep they're both the same. Apparently FWD shafts are thicker & stronger than AWD ones.

On the L they were the other way around - thin shafts on the 2wd and thick on the 4wd fronts only... Go figure!AlpineRaven wrote:Yep they're both the same. Apparently FWD shafts are thicker & stronger than AWD ones.

It appears my L has been running 2wd front shafts since before I got it...
