I suspect this has been addressed here already, but combing through the search results has been only partially informative, so I’ll go ahead and ask with the specifics of my situation as details, in hopes that the collective SLAP minds can share some insights and/or solutions.
I just stepped up to 8.75” decks, from 8.5”.
Sized up my trucks to match: went from Thunder 149s to 151s and put Bones (medium) bushings in ‘em with no bottom washer/cup & flat washers on top.
Problem: the bottom bushing keeps bulging out from under the yoke.
I rode the same set up on the 149s for years, but never had this problem. Do I have a bummer set of bushings? They’re BOTH doing it, in the exact same way, so more likely is the possibility that the additional leverage generated by the wider hanger is, at least in part, the culprit. Maybe the rebated nature of the yoke (for weight saving?) affords too little of a lip to hold the bushing in place?
Beyond going back to a stock set-up, does anybody have any advice, or maybe a suggest for old Lou?
Thanks, and of course...
Hugs!
