Ok lets see if you can help me out with this. I bought an 04-08 f150 lariat 4x4 model . I took out the front axle to replace the bushings the rubber was really bad. When i replaced them and tried to install the axle back it will not fit because it hits the oil pan. I was looking at the motor mounts but they look ok to me. When i was working on the engine a few days before i saw some junkyard marks making me know that the engine was replaced. So my quiestion is that i was wondering if somehow they installed an engine from a 2wd truck and maybe motor mounts or motor mount plate may be diffrent ?? Truck has been a fu#!#ng nightmare from firts day i drove it home. I had to replace timing chains cam phasers coils spark plugs oil pump water pump coolant and is running but still needs a few other parts . (Truck did not come with the front driveshaft when i bought it so i never drove it with it. )

That doesn't mean that I didn't get a 4wd pan from factory . I am sure they mix them up at the factory when they are installing them .

SMH, ford could not screw up an 2wd/4wd oil pan at factory because a 2wd pan would never work on a 4x4 truck. OP had a junkyard motor clearly out of a 2wd

I meant mine could be a 4wd pan from factory even though I am rwd. I clearly have the center drain not a side drain . I really don't know which I should have for sure . I'm sure mine being rwd would take either one . I bought it new .
As soon as I can I will crawl under a 4wd to see if its like mine .
