Monroe parts numbers fron the front are way different, so I would say no. Rears are the same though, for live axle only.

Don't think so... AU's on have a cone shaped spring, so the bottom spring seat on an AU would therefore be smaller than an EA-EL.

You might be able to get the strut in, but i'd imagine you would get some form of knocking noise coming from it, because the bottom of the spring will not properly locate...
