Default o2 sensor

my rear o2 sensor went out. Im just wondering, if i were to go to a parts yard, would the front o2 sensor be the same thing as the rear one, or are they set up differently? Also would it be different if i were to pull a non turbo front o2 sensor?

jus go buy a new one, even if its a cheaper no name brand from autozone or something. o2 sensors have sensitive wires, and even if the used one you get it still okay, you may damage it trying to take it off.

i think its mostly the length of the wire that changes. I beleive the sensor part itself is the same but the wiring is key, and the harness on it. Like he said go to autozone. I doubt they are more than $50 for a cheap bosch universal one.

Those cheap ones dont come with the harness. You have to split the wires and use the harness from the broken one. Is it going to work the same?

i got one from autozone that was a universal for $89 and i had to splice the wires, my dad got a Denso OEM from autozone for $92 and it had a plug. We both did our exhausts a day apart so we needed new ones
