Sounds like the sound may be coming from the pivot cup. If your setup is new, breaking them in may help it go away. If not, put a little wax or soap in the pivot cup. Not too much, but just enough. I find that putting too much might make your trucks feel looser than you may want. [VIDEO]

yes, but you can avoid it. its completely up to you if you leave it like this or not but i personally hate it when my board creacks like this. i use regular dish soap in all the bushings and everything. it may not be the best option because it collects dirt but im fine with re-applying it every 5-10 rides or so because i hate this sound. this [VIDEO]is the video that i follow when doing it. hope it helps
