Truck Questions

Why do my bushings pop out of the bushing seat?

When bushings pop out of the seat, this typically means that you are using too hard of bushings. You will need to go down a couple duros and tighten your kingpin nut a little more. You will still have the same feel as the harder bushings, but your bushings will not be popping out of the bushing seat anymore.

Why don’t my trucks rebound back to center?

When you’re trucks aren’t rebounding back to center, this means your hangers are sticking in the pivot cup. All you have to do is lube your pivot cups and your problem will disappear. An Anti-Seize Lubricant would be ideal, but you can use dish soap, soap shavings, thick bearing lube, grease, chapstick, wax, etc.

Why are the pivot cups made from Delrin?

First off, the pivot on a hanger is strictly meant for allowing the hanger to pivot on a single, stationary axis. Delrin is a very hard material, which will allow for the hanger to only rotate on that axis and not move from side to side. Many people have heard about urethane pivot cups. The softer urethane pivot cups allow for side to side movement when turning, leading to a sloppy truck. We believe that a precision made delrin pivot cup is ideal for use in a precision truck.

What axle width should I select?

Most riders prefer 179mm or 186mm. The 179mm and 186mm widths are a good middle point between grip and slide. !72mm axles will give you the most grip, while 193mm will give you the least amount of grip.

How many washers do I need to run boardside?

Since we offer two different degrees when you flip the hangers on our regular trucks, you will need to use different amount of washers depending on which side you are on. On the 45 degree setting, you will typically need zero washers, although if you wanted a little extra restriction, you could run 1 cupped washer boardside. On the 49 degree setting, you will need to use 2 washers boardside. This will allow for the hanger to be parallel to the baseplate, which will result in equal bushing compression.
