Which Torque arm Bushing do I need?!?!?!!?

I'm trying to order this ASAP. Summit lists two possible bushings

One that says

Fits bushing with steel lips facing away from the driveshaft.

and one that says

Fits bushing with steel lips facing toward from the driveshaft.

What the heck are they talking about. I don't see any lips on anything. I see points where the bushing is mounted to the Clam Shell bracket thing but thats about it.

Any help would be greatly apreciated as I'm trying to put my Motor/Trans in this weekend.

Thanks

I figured it out. Here it is if anyone else ever needs it.

How the heck did you know that without looking?

I wasn't sure what they mean't by steel lips away/toward from Driveshaft. When I found that picture (edited into my first post) I realized what I had.

Thanks

This is good to know since I plan on replacing mine. Half the bushing is hanging out of where it should be... I guess the rubber is bad.
