nope....its all differnt. I went the same thing. One real easy way to check is to go to for example...auto zone, and check parts numbers against the year of axle your swappinng in. If anything were to fit, i'd say you might be able to reuse your rotors. Possibly your calipers, but i don't think so. Lower ball joints usually fit. Uppers are differnt to account for camber nuts.
