I need the collective wisdom of every nerd on here that's tried the IKP JB-weld hack.
I put some titanium GK kingpins in a pair of Theeves, and did the JB-weld thing to hold the nut in place. I'd say I did a pretty good job, but I've been experiencing a weird sound coming from my trucks ever since. It's a consistent squeaking sound, not when you turn like you get from pivot cups and bushings, but one you hear the entire time while you're riding, but gets louder when turning.
I first thought it was my bearings, but I switched those, and have since gone mad switching out every component possible. It's the fucking kingpins! I took the trucks off, and sure enough the nut had wiggled loose. The JB-weld doesn't hold at all. The nut doesn't spin or hit the deck or anything though, so I'm still confused by the noise.
I don't mind a little noise coming from my trucks or wheels, but this shit makes the whole board feel sluggish, even though it isn't.
Anyone else ever experience anything like this?
