Both different engine models. Worth jacking up the whole car so all wheels are clear then checking the front turn the same speed as the rear. My bet is it is the wrong ratio diff, I know autos are different to manuals.

if you do that then the opposite wheel will turn the other way if you do it as i said then that would be better

Or just simply mark the tires, put it into 4wd, drive forward(preferably on gravel) some and check out if the marks are in the same place.
