Is there a difference between the aftershock's front differentials between the 3.5 and the 8e?

I just replaced the stock diff on my 8e (small crack - leaking grease) with one from my parts car - a wrecked 3.5 (diff is good)

now it might just be because i replaced a bunch of other components too, including steering stuff, but the car feels more front-wheel-drive oriented now.. its still awd - but what i mean is, its like the fronts are pulling faster than the rear.. it won't oversteer in turns, and the fronts will scramble for traction wheras before they didn't...

Just wondering if there are differences - i don't want to overdrive the center diff with competing front and rears.

**one note - i do NOTknow what weight oil was in the previous one, or the current rear.. the replacement front is stock oil.

could be a difference in diff lubes. the rear might be more used hence thinner not hooking up compared to the front. my rule is if i touch one of my diffs i redo both of them.

Thanks formula, yeah same gears internal and external. Same teeth count so no differnce there. Must be the amount of grease or fluid types difference.
