Yes, no, depends.

Early 2004 and older are "innie " axles.
Late 2004 and newer are "outie" axles.

Im pretty sure those look like mine

the axle fits over the spline coming from the tranny and has a pin holding them together.

A little off topic, but I have a 95 impreza wagon L AWD and need a pair of front axles. Anyone know what years will work for me?

You can buy them new online for like ~$60/ea and it includes everything you need to replace the old axle. I had to do my driver's front the other week and it was a breeze.

Those are the older style or "innies" as I refer to them.

Sweet! Did you buy them from a Subaru dealer? I've gotten some great deals on OEM Subaru parts from out of state dealers.

Hmm? Did they switch back and foward throughout the years? I'm looking at google images and I see this for a 06 WRX tranny

Nah, more like "e-bay" special. A few people that I know and trust had used them, and told me they looked/felt and worked identical to the OEM axle assembly, so I ordered one. Definitely a worthwhile $60-70 considering it is ready to go out of the box. Includes new pin and a shiny new axle nut as well. Good times.
