Are the axle shafts on add fronts ends the same from passenger side to driver side, when searching for replacements it shows a lot that say passenger side but I dont see any the specify drivers side.

I just replaced my CV shafts and they were exactly the same. Im guessing this is what you are talking about. I just went to the parts store and asked for 2 cv shafts. When I looked around online I saw some sites that said drivers side or passenger side, but they are the same thing from what I can see. I imagine this is the same for all models, but I drive a 2nd gen so I am only 100% for my model. Hope this helps.

Also when i tore mine all apart both sides were identical.

CVs should be pretty much the same for either side, but if you're talking about the actual axle shafts that are inside of the IFS diff, then no - they are different lengths. the passenger side (short side) is only a couple inches long and the driver's side (long side) is a 2-part shaft with a gear that connects the two when your ADD engages. non-ADD axles have a solid longside axle since it does not have the ADD mechanism.
