silicone grease
How long does it last for?
And which grease, Amazon has loads of em! Or just get any??
Thx loads!
Yeah, i was gonna say, easiest way would be hand soap or wax. Make sure you cram it into that pivot cup too!
Here’s a tutorial: https://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/forum/longboard-and-skateboarding-trucks-bushings/70423-how-why-my-board-squeaking.html
I have had squeaky skateboards for ever never thought to do anything about it. THX
Gulf wax found at Walmart $3-4 it also makes everything a lot smoother as well
I’m a firm believer in soap!
I need to get me some wax
@oneafrikan I’ve tried the shaved gulf wax and soap but I prefer Armor All. I spray a little into the bearing cups and onto the bushings, wipe off the excess, and then reassemble. It makes the trucks the feel new again. It’s a silicone base, so it probably works the same way silicone grease does, but less messy. I reapply it every 4 months or so.
I used WD40 spray - it got the job done.
Please don’t do this! WD40 is not a lubricant, and its not very kind on rubber/plastic either! (Unless you’re talking about silicone wd40)
With wax you want to cut a piece that’s the same size as the pivot and really work it in with some force and on top of that maybe some shavings. This made my trucks so smooth I had to get harder bushings.
Bumpity bump
just use soap or wax
