    I’m replacing the center support bearing. It looks like it’s been replaced before. The notches are installed toward the front of the truck (correctly) but the housing appears to have been installed upside down. The centerline of the flanges and the centerline of the bearing are offset. Does anyone know which direction it goes?

    The half with the single hole faces down.

    Thanks. The one installed on my truck is upside down. Thought something didn’t look right.73341127-1B10-460D-B47E-F9BC802EDA4F.jpg
