There are many reasons you may need to by skateboard trucks. You may be building your own dream skateboard. You may be upgrading your existing skateboard with some premium skateboard trucks. Maybe you have wore out your existing trucks grinding like a pro. Whatever the reason, you need to look at a few things when you are deciding what trucks you want to purchase.
The first thing you need to look at is the bushings. They are the rubber part that flexes when you are turning. You can remove these and replace them to customize your skateboard. Harder rubber is more stable and stiffer when you turn. Softer bushings are looser and let you turn faster. Most people are better off just getting a medium bushing and just having an all purpose skateboard.
For skateboard trucks, the dimensions are the next critical item to consider. The first dimension is the truck height. Low skateboard trucks are more stable and allow you to do quick flip tricks better. High trucks allow you to use larger wheels which go faster and are better for all terrain skating. As with the bushings, you can go with a medium height truck for all purpose skating.
The last dimension for skateboard trucks is the axle length. There really isn’t anything special you need to worry about here. Just make sure you match the axle length to the skateboard width.
