Lock Cylinder Problem

Hello.
The lock cylinder I ordered online did not fit.
I have a 1998 4Runner with a tilt-steering wheel.
I received a 69057-35070 but I could not insert it into the cylinder housing.
Has this ever happened to anyone?

Attached is a picture which is self-explanatory.

POSSIBLE EXPLANATION: Maybe a lock cylinder for a 1989 - 1995 would fit?
POSSIBLE SUBSTITUTIONS: I am looking at an Evan-Fischer EVA2558311581 and a Dorman 924-786 but the problem with ordering either of these online is that the available pictures do not reveal the actual zero angle view I need to judge them as acceptable.

Look at the attached picture and you'll see what I mean. The protrusions, marked in red, make the 69057-35070 incompatible.

Your feedback and ideas are welcome.

Is the replacement an OEM part? It definitely looks like it's for a different vehicle, or a different year.

Thanks for responding.
69057-35070 IS OEM.
You might have something there with me requiring a lock cylinder that would fit the previous year's 4Runner.

 

Sometimes they change a part in the middle of a production year, so it's definitely worth looking into.

I would think if that had been the case that the parts guy would have asked for your VIN number.

 

Yeah when I ordered 3rd Red Brake light from CARiD (for some reason it came W/White light from factory!) the connector was no where near what was the OEM. They gave me hard time but eventually did full refund. I believe the still have it up on their site claiming direct replacement

 

Who did you order it from? That new cylinder doesn't look like the right one for that part number.

If you didn't buy from a TOYOTA dealer, you got a fake or knockoff.

I LITERALLY HAVE THIS EXACT PART sitting on my desk. I am going to replace mine too. Sealed bag 69057-35070 and it looks like your OLD one. This was bought from McGeorge Toyota.

Your new one is WRONG.

 

I replaced my 99 cylinder. Very simple job. Less the $30.00 if I recall. It was 2 yrs ago, but I’m fairly certain it was that same company. I didn’t use a Toy oem part. I now have 2 keys. 1 for door and 1 for ignition. But it was a simple job. They sent u the wrong part.
