any input appreciated:
got a 4 week old pair of indys, and since week 1 or 2, the stock bushings tend to favor one side of the deck. it steers in one direction when there is no weight on the board and i can feel one side beeing more tense/harder than the other when i jump on. luckily this goes away after a couple of pushes. riding a twin tail and medium/loose trucks. had ventures+bones medium before, but had the feeling the bones gave out after a couple of months.
The first questions I usually have are related to wear in time and how much you tightened the trucks down right away.
The other thing to note is the board will usually always lean to one side after heavy landings or pressure on the heel side with new bushings too.
Just checked over old answers, and this thread is good, which might also help:
indy stock bushing problem?

https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=118438.msg3635139#msg3635139The most common issue is tightening things up too much too quickly, which means the bushings will not have time to wear in and will not really bounce back.
Stock bushings are 90 duro and are very soft feeling right away, but do firm up / harden up somewhat as they wear in, but as said they can take a bit of time to do that. If you are not so comfortable riding softer bushings or looser trucks, some after market bushings might work better.
Depending on what you had on your previous board, even older stock bushings from any other brand truck might work to put those straight on your new one, if you are wanting to get out there right away and not spend a few sessions just carving around, even on flat, to wear them in.
The current stock bushings on Indy trucks are actually really good (especially compared to what they used to be), with minimal issues from the people who have skated them and worn them in nicely, but as said, if you are more used to tighter trucks or need harder bushings, or just don't like the feel of them, by all means get other bushings and try them or explore other options if you have other trucks or bushings sitting around.
