I cross referenced the part numbers for your alternator. I looked on www.autozone.com and they did match up for Duralast alternators. However, I don’t know what brand you are asking about so there is no 100% certainty that it will work between the 2 cars. If you need help replacing your alternator, I would recommend having a certified Mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, come to your home to replace your alternator for you.
