Rear Sway Bar Bracket Orientation?

[N882928]

What is the correct orientation of this rear sway bar bracket when mounting to the body? As you can see, one side of the bracket is taller and has more of a radius. Does this taller side mount inboard or outboard? All of the diagrams I've found don't show this detail and the search did not turn up anything. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like a stamping irregularity to me, so either will work.

that being said, on this bracket, I would bolt the heavy end to the captured nut closest to the body.

Both brackets (both sides) are the same. I don't see any signs of a double hit or stamping flaws. I think it was designed to be this way. Has anyone installed a stock rear sway bar recently with these later brackets?

Bill, so I take your reply as heavy side in.

Bump. Anyone know this one for sure?

Doesn't make much difference.
Under optimal conditions each bolt will be under an equal amount of stress.
In other words, in the event of a fail, the results be the same regardless of the orientation of the bracket.

It doesn't matter. It's clamping a big hunk of rubber.....

Don't know if it would make a difference, the primary force in that area is the twist along the circumference so as long as they're both oriented as a mirror image I'd imagine it's fine.

I have my car on jackstands at the moment and checked. They're installed with the lip on the inboard. But thinking out loud through this (and I've had two beers) if the force is placed on the bar and transferred to the other wheel to keep the car level as much as possible then there would be "some" squeezing lateral force towards the inside of the vehicle so you'd want the more pronounced lip to be on the outside keeping the bushing in its place.

One more time: It doesn't matter. It's clamping a big hunk of rubber.....

Why would Porsche go through the trouble of reinforcing one side?

Mine is completely flat, no lip at all.
Doesn't matter...

The heavy sides both face inwards towards one another .
If your car uses collars , the thicker side goes towards the collar .
