I started putting a new boot kit on one of my axles and forgot to pay attention to the direction of the CV joint as I pulled it off. One side has one groove, the other two, anybody know which side faces inboard? I think I can see some pressure marks from the plates that link the bolts that attach the axle to the diff, but I’m not sure. I don’t even know if the joint itself is even directional.

Somehow missed that, thanks. From that it doesn’t seem like orientation matters, I’ll just put it on the way I think it should and find out I guess, hopefully I’m right.
