Quote: At Griffin Skateboards, we have noticed there is a problem with the standard washer cups on all stock skateboard trucks today. People are snapping their kingpins on their trucks left and right. The grade 8 washer and grade 8 kingpin in combination with bushings that are too soft are hanging up the kingpin and snapping it.
That's not the problem. The problem is their trucks are too tight. |

Blair, read Griffin's postings about the washers over on the Silverfish forum. He goes into more detail there, and it makes sense to how/why the product works. |

Yeah...kids won't spring more than $10 for a set of bearings, but they buy precision bushing washers for $16.
