How To Replace Your Skateboard Bushings (with Griff)

I don't think you're understanding bro, it's not a question of skill. Trucks just aren't designed to be skated that loose and it's dangerous. Trucks use nyloc nuts on the kingpin to keep themselves together but those only work when the nut is tightened past a certain point, otherwise the only thing keeping it together is a prayer. In order to make your current trucks turn easier, you're going to want to replace the bushings in the trucks with softer ones. Luckily this is pretty cheap and simple to do. Here's a link [LINK] to the soft version of the bushings I prefer, although whatever your local skateshop has will do fine. Here's a link [VIDEO] to a video of someone replacing the bushings.

Yeah, but don’t sweat it. No need to scrap the whole truck – you can find some decent replacement bushings cheap pretty much anywhere! Bushing Replacement [VIDEO]
