I've just bought a bike which has front suspension with a preload adjuster.
On the right side there is an adjuster, which can be turned clockwise and anti-clockwise, to adjust the preload tension of the forks.
The left hand side doesn't have the same grip on the top, to be able to adjust it

I was assuming what you adjust on one side, needs to be adjusted the same on the other, or don't they quite work like that???

Looks like just preload adjustment and thats it.
The other bit is just a cap for maintenance.

So am I correct in saying that you don't need to adjust preload on both sides?
