Skateboarding trucks question?

Question

I picked up a pair of thunders at my local shop today and i got home put together my deck and hopped on it and realized i didnt tighten em, so i tighten em both fairly equally , but now im noticing when i get on my board the trucks bend to one side and they stay in that bent position until im straighten em with my hands, what is this, any idea , why do they do this

Answer 1

your bushings are still tight i think

Answer 2

The reason to this problem is that your bushings aren't worn in.  Whenever they are both leaning to one side, just step on the board to get them even.  They should be just fine in about another week.  That is how long it took my Thunder bushings to wear in.  I have had my Thunder bushings on my Grind King trucks for about 2 months now, and they are great.

Answer 3

its normal until you break them in.

its the just the axel part of the truck getting used to pivoting.

if they don't eventually get any better after a while,

try loosening the king pin in the center of the truck.
