When I replaced my steering rack gaiter I made a note of the steering rack clamp I removed to gain access to the gaiter. I can't say that the front to back orientation of the clamp is correct but that is how it was fitted before I removed it. I checked the clamp on the other side (drivers side) which I had not removed and it was the same way round so I assume this is correct.
