In general? No.
Why would the OEM spend the extra $ to make it more robust? They’re not 4WD off road trucks.
Case in point - three FWD Volvos, two AWD Volvos, in the same chassis. Many common parts. Chassis. Body. Transmission. Suspension. Most of the suspension parts bolt right up on either the FWD and AWD chassis. Common ball joints, tie rods, strut mounts, brakes, brake hoses, wheel hubs, sway bars, and rear control arms.
The only suspension differences? Slightly longer front lower control arms, slightly longer front and rear struts, and slightly different wheel offset. Everything else is interchangeable.
Other minor differences - smaller gas tank to fit over the rear differential. Front differential installed on the same transmission. A couple brackets to carry the driveshaft.
