What I need to know is will the rightside of a AWD driveshaft fit into the FWD tranny?

All I really need is the hub part of the shaft that fits into the tranny
 
Do you mean drivers side or pass. side? I get confused w/ cars and right/ left.

But either way w/ front axles (AWD or FWD) the pass. side is the same axle. However, on w/ the drivers side, the FWD cars have a single long axle that goes from the tranny to the wheel whereas the AWD cars have a midshaft, which bolts to the engine, and then another shorter axles is insterted into the midshaft, this causes les torque steer. I don't know why they put it on AWD cars and not FWD cars, considering FWD cars have more torque steer issues.
