i need to swap out an axle on my 94 but i was told that they are different on japanese made camrys than U.S made ones. i'm just wondering what the difference is and what other differences there are between these cars. thanks.

Some of the cars came with Toyota axles and some came with GKN axles. To be sure which axle your car has, call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 and have your vehicle's VIN number handy. They will be able to tell you from the VIN.

The first digit of the VIN will tell you.
1 = USA
4 = USA
J = Japan
