I said yes, are you ******* blind?
If you want more proof look at some aftermarket axles, they make one axle for three and four channel. The difference? You put a reluctor wheel on if you have a 4 ch, if you have a 3 ch you dont. That means the axles are the same other than the part the reluctor presses onto, unlike factory axles.
Have a great night buddy.

If you still don't get it, aftermarket axles (some brands) are machined for a 4 ch reluctor wheel and they replace both 3 and 4 channel axles.
Factory doesn't have the machined area behind the axle flange on 3 ch axles.
Whether it's there or not doesn't matter if you have a 3ch rear.

No **** an axle will work. are you saying the 4 channel axle will work in the 3 channel rear end that usually has 3 channel axles in it?
********, your question is will a four channel axle work in a three channel rear.

You would think that after your response they would have at least looked at their post to make sure it was correct. we all make mistakes, but when you have an attitude towards someone because you cant type your question correctly you deserve to be bashed a little

There is no need for name calling here, take it elsewhere.
Back to the question:
No. Since the others can't explain I will.
4 channel - Two ABS rings, one on the end of each both axle
3 channel - One ABS ring behind the gear ring on your differential
You would have to pull apart your rear, slap an ABS ring gear in, then the ABS sensor on the top of your axle, and then change your wiring. Unless you do not want ABS you can just do it.

Wrong.
I just replaced an axle on my car, I've seen what out there.
The OP has a 3 channel rear and is asking if he can put a 4 channel axle in it.
Yes he can. He can even leave the reluctor wheel on it.
Now on the other hand if he had a four channel rear, he can only replace the axle with a four channel axle.
He's asking about replacing axles, not entire rear end assemblies.
