Which way are my lips facing?

I am getting a loud clunk when shifting on my 700r4, a quick inspection of the torque arm bushing found that it had dry rotted so badly it was unrecognizable.

Can anyone tell me which is the correct type for bushing for my car, lips toward the driveshaft or away?

1990 IROC-Z, 5.7, Auto.

don't the lips on the torque arm that's still in the car determine that?
