C3-Parking Brakes

Does it matter which direction the adjusters are installed on the parking brake? I know it matters on a drum brake set up for the auto adjust. I can't remember the orientation of the adjusters (been apart too long)

I found this write up.

It says:
19: Now install the shoe adjuster. Spread the shoes at the bottom and carefully install the adjuster. NOTE: Always place the star wheel of the adjuster toward your RIGHT HAND on both rear wheels.

It doesn't...but I set them up with the adjuster to the front on the right side and the left side to the rear. This way the adjuster rotation (direction) works the same for both sides.

Thanks, when I assembled them I put the wheel towards the right and that olaces the wheel towards the front on one side and the rear on the other. Now I can continue to assemble my bearings.
