Default 1938 Ford Shock Adjustment.

1938 Deluxe Coupe with original fitted shocks.
Have unmounted left rear shock to check operation and adjust for stiffer movement via the needle valve adjusring screw.
Looking at this shock in mounted position the firmer adjustment is obtained by turning adjuster screw towards the front of the car.
I'm asking if this is true of three remaining shocks when viewed the same way.
If so this will save dismounting remaing three shocks.
Want to firm up motion as presently a little springy!! The left rear shock movemet was initially set in mid range of adjustment. Moving ajuster towards front of car does firm up movement motion.
Thanks for any advice and assistance.
