As far as I know, gx has gr gearbox, therefore driveshafts and hubs on gpx are different.

That's my understanding of it anyway - I may be wrong.

well while i had the hubs off breaker was going to swap them, cos two studs broke on me off the hub,due to the recent bang i had when damaging my alloy.
maybe just buy new studs ??

Just swap them over from the breaker. A slap of a lump hammer (with a nut on so as not to damage the threads) is all it takes.

Both hubs are exactly the same apart from ABS/NON ABS (i.e. there is a hole for the ABS sensor on ABS models.
Only the inner cv joints are diff on some models.
Splines on outer hub are tghe same on all FTO's
