Hello Guys I am new to this forum, there is lots of great info on here!! I have recently purchased a 34 Ford Sedan and it is currently setup for dirt track, now I am going to be racing it on asphalt, can you explain to me how are these two setups different? Do any of you know what the part numbers are for front and rear wheel bearings and seals?
Thanks

The only physical part change you will need is new springs...well, and tires of course
Alot of asphalt racers will change other things (shocks, rear end housing, etc.) if a car has been run on dirt because of the abuse we put them through.
Here is the front wheel bearings:

Dont have the rears, usually end up replacing the axle before the bearing is bad :P

Changed axle bearings on our dirt car 2 years ago...SKF GRW124-R.
Good luck! Mark

Rear Axle Seals(P/N CR 20433) - Can be purchased at your local auto parts store.
Hope this helps! Mark ;D

Hello guys, I have changed the springs over from dirt to asphalt LF 250, RF275, LR200, RR185, I am new to the sport but from what I can see that a dirt setup is oposite from asphalt with the ride heights. Right now the car is sitting at 5.0 inches on the driver side and 4.25 inches on the passenger side. But I should want the opposite? how do I acheive this? I aslo have to set the castor/camber back to an asphalt setup.
Thanks
Chris

What do you guys recommend for height Settings?
Thanks

You can start with 3 5/8" LF, 3 3/4" RF, 4" LR, and 4 1/4" RR. Remember to be careful with LF setting, as rule states minimum ride height if 3 1/2". Adjust ride height using screw adjusters on each shock at each corner of car.
Good luck Chris! ;D
