   Providing you match the hubs with the shafts then yes.As theres 2 types of driveshaft tapered & non tapered.

   Pretty sure the bearings and hubs for the 3 studs are different sizes so you cant replace them

   if your cars pre 2000 youll need full struts from a pre 2000 4 stud model
   if you cars post 2000 youll need struts from a post 2000 4 stud model
   
   as said above you cant just change the hubs + going 4 stud struts means better ARBs and better brakes aswell, but it also means you have to swap rear beams aswell
