The kinked side is gearbox side, but ive seen them mounted both ways don't make much diff! I think the angled bend is to miss the gearbox but either way round its well clear of the box!

FFS bigkev spend £20-£30 on some proper bloody axle stands, did you not read about the chap crushed to death by his escoz

btw the left hand thread on the arb goes to the offside from memory

The ARB has a kink in it so you can remove the gearbox and replace the clutch without taking it off. When you offer it up it should become obvious which way round it goes.
