People Also Ask
What are bushings on a skateboard?
They're the polyurethane rings around the kingpin inside each truck that compress when you lean, controlling how the board turns.
Do softer or harder bushings turn better?
Softer bushings compress more easily and let the board carve and turn more, while harder bushings feel stiffer and more stable.
When should you replace bushings?
Replace them when they crack, deform, or feel mushy, since worn bushings make turning unpredictable.
