Rear axle bearing concave raised flange direction??

I am replacing my rear axle seals and bearings and my bearing have a conclave flange that looks different than what I've seen on youtube. The ones I see on Youtube look flat and flush on both sides. Mine have a raised lip on the inner portion of the bearing on one side. And like an idiot I didn't realize it had this and didn't pay attention to the orientation when I removed the old bearings.

Does the concave flange face downward toward the backing plate or upward toward the diff?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I looked in my service manual and it doesn't show this.

 

Towards the outside.

It'll match the radius on your axle shaft, that's if you have 01-04 shafts. The 95-00 models had a hard edge on the shaft and a flat bearing.

 

So toward the back plate? That makes sense, I just wanted to make sure.

Yes, mine is an 02'

Thank you!

 

Differential mechanic here. He is correct. The extra part of the race with the chamfer goes towards the outside, facing the axle flange.
