For the past few months my Lexus has been unlivable. It started with a blown engine, then we figured out I ****ed up the CV's also. We replaced the engine with a 2007 Lexus IS 250 AWD engine, and my car is a 2008 Lexus IS 250, no problem. The problem we are having is that the CV Joint has a bearing that slides into the oil pan, but the bearing lexus sends us, is the correct bearing. but it doesn't fit. We have ordered many bearings and they are all the same ones that lexus says all of the IS's use, (basically since 2001). What can be the problem, or many a better question to ask is what are my alternitives? The guy working on it said something about a oil pan sleeve but I cannot find any online, can you guys find one maybe? This is my last hope to get this car working again.. Thanks.

The bearing doesn't fit into the oil pan, or the bearing doesn't fit onto the axle? Do you have any pictures? I assume this is for the RH axle?

Bearing should be 90363-36001, 90363-36004, or 90363-36010 from what I see assuming I assumed correctly.

The bearing on the CV Joint is too small to go into the oil pan. The bearing Lexus sends us is 33mm but that's too small. I was told the to hole is 37x74 but I do not have pics as I don't have the car. But I googled each of those part numbers and those seem to be wheel bearings, same thing or no?

Those are not wheel bearings, they are front axle shaft bearings. The bearing dimensions should be 36X67X23 (OD, Width, ID).

All of those part numbers are bearings of the correct size.

What is the part number Lexus sold you?
