Default Rear axle swap question..

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find any info on it. Will the rear axle from a 94/95 stang bolt into a 92/93 without any mods? thanks

It would be the same as if you swapped the axle shafts. They're 3/4" longer on each side. I did this when I converted to five lug rear disc. There is MINOR rubbing on the wheel lip because I'm running 9 inch wide wheels.

I'm trying to find the best way to get rear disc/ 5 lug conversion.. I remember that when I did this before on my 91 GT I kept the 4 lug and used the rear disc's from a 93 Cobra, they were also 3/4 longer... thanks alot..
