Default Axle compatibility

Been contemplating changing my front axles out as they are shakey cheap aftermarket junkers. Found a mint 04 Crv A/T 2wd at the scrap yard the other day with oem axles that look to be in really good condition. Only thing is my 03 is a M/T 4wd. Just looking to see if anyone has experienced any difference between auto/manual axles, and if the 2wd vs 4wd affects that. I know that the intermediate shafts are usually slightly different, but that's as far as my knowledge goes.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I don't have any info on interchangeability of axles, but I do know that our car was shaky, and changing the axles did not help. Replacing the control arm bushings fixed it. It might be worth looking at your bushings as well.

I pretty much rebuilt the entire front end suspension already, hoping it wasn't the axles haha. New struts, ball joints, control arms, tie rod ends(inner/outer), sway end links. Axles are the last thing I need to replace lol. Thanks for your input though!
