BUSHINGS

Bushings come in three hardnesses (called soft, medium, hard for convenience) measured in durometer like wheels (e.g. 95A). All skateboard trucks come with them already set up. If you prefer different hardness, there's nothing wrong to change them even if they're new. For example, hard bushings need time to break in. Even though trucks can last many years, bushings wear out and break earlier from the excessive use. Note, if your bushings are made soft, bolting the kingpin nut too much to tighten the trucks will only ruin them. At Stay_K, shop bushings from companies rellik and Film, as well as pivot bushings and bases for replacement. Film's bushings include the bases in the package.
