Squeaky Trucks?
« on: October 25, 2013, 12:24:28 PM »
Anybody know any reasons why a pair of trucks would start to squeak?  Is it the bushings...are they just on their last legs?  Is it the pivot cup? I have stage 11 149s with Bones mediums...anything like this happen to anybody else with the same setup? or does this happen to most trucks?

I know when it has happened to me in the past it happened suddenly rather than gradually so it must have been a certain event that caused it.  But, it has happened again and it's annoying as hell.  Got me wondering what I could do to prevent it from happening if anything, or just buy some new bushings

yeah its pivot cups and bushings. Or colored trucks. But one thing i saw a while ago, someone said to spread vaseline in the pivot cups and i tried it and it works

Yeah it's just the pivot cups. I use hair clipper oil for mine, one drop each lasts a few weeks. You can also use speed cream.

Lol @ colored trucks; color of the trucks has nothing to do with it.

Bones bushings are generally very squeaky, at least when I had them. If your trucks are just now starting to squeak I'd imagine it's a pivot cup thing

the paint on the pivot can crack or get rubbed off making them squeak it happened to me on my last set of thunders

Who gives a shit about squeaky trucks? Wear your headphones and ignore other people at the park.

This. I did this when my aces started to squeak; the squeak didn't come back in about 2 years skating.

Semen fixes it too, but you gotta make sure to shoot it directly on the bushings and pivot cup.

Truth!  Make sure your diet is mostly greasy fast food so you get that more viscous jizz and not the more watery semen.  Makes great bearing lube, too.

Haha, couldn't get a good chub so I just used some old speed cream on the pivot cups and it did the trick.

Who said it has to be your jizz?  It's not like you're trying to pass a drug test.

I'm not buying the jizz idea. I've gone through plenty of old sock cum rags and that shit always ends up all yellowish and crusty. If anything I can see it making the squeak worse.

You have to cum in your mouth and swish it around, and mix it with saliva. It changes the spermaterical polarity
