Set turning radius

A while back I noticed one of the bolts on my caliper to control my turning radius on my truck (92 F140, 4x4) was missing. So I replaced it and now I'd like to properly set the turning radius.

Is the only way to just drive it in a circle and get out and adjust it as needed or is there another way?

Thanks

Caliper bolts ain't got anything to do with turning radius. Post a pic of what you're talkin bout and perhaps we can get a better idea of it and go from there.

Maybe a 92 <b>F140</b> is different though... I dunno, try the F-140 forums lol... just messin with you

Adjust it so you can turn as sharp as possible but yet with tire clearance, tire doesn't hit radius arm.

Check the other side, adjust for tire size if/as needed.
