brake shoe adjusters

[petrov]

 

morning all , 2011 focus , was cleaning rear shoes as handbrake wasnt holding , the nearside adjuster cog is facing to the rear and the offside cog is facing front , can anyone tell me what the correct orientation should be as im assuming both should face the same direction or does it not matter , thanks guys

A couple of photos might be a good idea, but, yes both adjusters should normally be mirror images of each other.
