S4 & S5 Spindles the same?

Title pretty much says it all. Had the misfortune of meeting a curb back on Dec. 31 and am still paying for it. Seems I need a new Driver Front Spindle for my S5 TII, and since I'm having zero luck finding one new, I'll have to try the parts section. So I need to know if I should be just looking for other S5's or will the S4's work too?

Pretty much, or definitely the same? Pretty much and definitely could mean the difference between exploding wheel bearings and not. Not to mention cutting my chances of finding one in half if only an S5 will work.

Looked up the spindle on car-part.com. it shows that both s4 and s5 will work, but it asks whether it is a coupe or vert. So there may be some difference there, but that's about and far as I can get you. Should be easy to find one from a coupe though.

I replaced my S5 Vert's front spindle with one off a S4. Exactly the same.
