Hi Dave! Well, I can say I've installed them the other way 'round. Namely
putting a non ABS joint into an ABS car. Worked fine, 'cept the ABS was always
in default. The difference is the ABS joints have a toothed ring fitting
around the inboard part of the outer joint. I don't *think* the toothed ring
would interfere with the stut/bearing housing in that application, but a
simple test fit and hand rotation would tell the tale. The bearings are the
same parts and the strut housings are the same save for the sensor hole....you
should be fine with it.

Hope this helps,
