Mate I dont think it matters, i have asked the same question when putting it back together 3 times recently and still dont know.
I think one side LOOKED slightly wrong when I bolted it in so I flipped it over.
The cap is a bitch to put back on, I recommend a dimpled drilled into it to push on with a screwdriver and freind OR use a 1/4 inch flexi-drive socket set with extra long extensions.
you will still need a freind :roll:
there are only 3 types of people in the whole world
those who can count
and those who cannot
