I think you made the right choice. I'd say install it the way the old one was.
It *looks* like the bearing would end up supported in the same place either way; I installed it the way the old carrier was oriented, since it was a MB part (had a star) and I presume was original. The diagram I found that implied it should face the opposite way was for a W126, so perhaps it was different for that car. Allan
