Thats the drive shaft he is talking about were the half shafts go into the hubs were the wheels are. As far as I know they are the same, I have never heard this question asked before.

Subframes and hubs are the same for N/A and Turbo. The hub bearings are the same for all '86/'92, as most all all the bushings, bolts, etc.
