What rear end??? A pic of both sides of the seal would help to avoid any confusion. beer

The seal lip always faces the oil.

Thanks John, I meant the thin metal gasket that goes on the outside of the axle, over the five studs. It has a raised rib around it on the inner circle, just don't know if it faces towards the axle or towards the backing plate.

If you mean the embossed steel gasket that goes between the housing and the backing plate, it doesn't matter.

Dr. Diff told me the embossed raised rib goes towards the axle when I did mine.

I always install the steel gasket's rib against the housing end.
