Why Your Skateboard Trucks Are Squeaky, and How To Fix It

Спорт

Don't buy expensive pivot cups! This is how you can stop squeaky trucks easily.
An alternative to bearing lube for this method is skate wax shavings.

    i tried putting bearing oil on both sides of the bushings and pivot cup and put together and still squeaking. i have bones mediums as i like them and put them in new trucks. i just got some tensor mag lights and the bushings in them are horrible u feel ridges or something like degree ridges when turning if u understand what i mean and they also kinda stay in the position which is stupid and not right so i go back to bones. where as the bones is smooth but squeaky. so i looked at the bushing and noticed it to be quite hard looking and not rubber so i got a bowl and put HOT water in, not warm, hot! and sock them bushings in it and then set it up and now no squeaking. there is a slight bit of squeaking but its defo helped but i guess with time and weather, the rubber becomes harder or is not being used. which is why when i got back on my skateboard it was squeaking. when u do a regular maintenance like once a month cleaning bearings, soak the bushings if they become squeaky. thanks for trying in this video mate.

    I use skate wax in mine. I’ve also found that by waxing the pivot cups, you get more turn out of the trucks overall. I feel the squeaky noises from the friction may be reducing the capability of the truck turning to its full capacity.

    Agreed. I noticed after I put some shaved golf wax in my pivot cups I could tighten my trucks way more than usual, where before i would see 3 threads showing on the kingpin now i can see like 8 threads and they still seem quite loose and they are much more responsive and quick turning.

    Be careful not to put too much, it might cause a bigger problem than just the cosmetic part. Putting to much will lubricate it too much and cause your trucks to overturn and put pressure on the bushings, wich may cause cutting of the bushings by the Washer cup, and/or put pressure on the bushings so when you land a trick, everything gets pushed out of place ( bushings not aligned with trucks ) and gets forced out of the washer cups. You’ll have to stop, untight everything, put everything back into place, to skate again just to rinse and repeat 2-3 tricks after
