Like a comfortable pair of skate shoes, worn out skateboard trucks are something hard to part with. Most of us don't replace trucks till they are super worn out... it's hard to get new skateboard trucks and have to put all new grind grooves in the hangers. On the other hand, how much fun is it to buy new skateboard trucks. I love assembling that new deck from scratch, thinking of skating all the while tightening the base-plates to the deck. If you're all ready to buy a new set of skateboard trucks we've got you coved. Our online skateboard store has a ton of great skateboard trucks in stock from Independent, Krux, Tensor, Venture, Royal and so many other trucks it's hard to keep track of them all.

Attached to the deck are two metal (usually aluminum alloy) trucks, which connect to the wheels and deck. The trucks are further composed of two parts. The top part of the truck is screwed to the deck and is called the baseplate, and beneath it is the hanger. The axle runs through the hanger. Between the baseplate and the hanger are bushings, also rubbers or grommets, that provide the cushion mechanism for turning the skateboard. The bushings cushion the truck when it turns. The stiffer the bushings, the more stable the skateboard. The softer the bushings, the easier it is to turn. A bolt called a kingpin holds these parts together and fits inside the bushings. Thus by tightening or loosening the kingpin nut, the trucks can be adjusted for steering.
