Unless you're Matt Rodriguez, I don't understand why people replace Ace's bushings. They're resilient and have the perfect hardness, and I'm a big dude. Other than what I've read about Krux you won't find a better stock bushing than those two truck companies.
My dude...i blew through those stock bushings and stock pivot cups and i didn't even tighten them to a point that it would mush out. I tighten them to a point that you can only see 2 threads of the kingpin sticking out or till the washers are intact and aren't clacking. Point is i just don't like it when the kingpin sticks out period. it's personal preference!
I like Ace, i just want them to be more durable than Indy's. If the next big "truck" company comes out. i hope it turns like Ace but last like indy's.
I'm referencing Matt Rodriguez since people nowadays go out of their way to get their trucks loose! i'm not going that route. Loose for me is when my turns are dipped easily without putting too much lean on the rails of the board. I also like full control of the board like driving a car without steering wheel fluid<<<personal preference
