Default Is the front axle on a 2003 2.7T Tip the same as on a 2002?

I was looking into getting a replacement axle, as both my inner and outer CV boots are shot, and I noticed that on the ECS website, they had axles, but it said "2000-2002 only." I assume that this means that the axles on 2003s are different. Does anybody know if this is correct?

Why not just fit new boots onto your CV joints?

Default I think they are the same...

...the PDF parts list (not ETKA which is at home) has same part numbers for 2.7T (no model year specified)

4B0-407-272-F right shaft assembly tiptronic
4B0-407-271-F left shaft assembly tiptronic

Outer joint needs replacing. Cost of ECS axle is about the same as cost of joint and boots.
