"Breaking in" skateboard trucks?

Question

I jus got a new pair of Silver A Class trucks

and its prolly been like a year since i ever got new trucks and i already made mistakes. They felt very loose to what im use to so i did the dumb mistake of tightening them then the bushings jus began to get crush so i loosen them so they wont get damaged then i took em apart (i know i know stupid) but theyre put together though they may not feel the same ="[

So what are some good ways to break in my trucks and how much should they be tight and loose??? And would it help if i jus stand on my board in my house moving the trucks around?

Answer 1

u can get new bushing for like 6$ if yours r crushed.  but yea they are made of basically plastic.  You can break them in by moving them like u were talking about in ur living room. you have to adjust the trucks to your own liking.  stiff, loose whatever its your preference and you can buy bushings that are different hardnesses so that might be a way to fix your problem, i would get a medium bushing hardness. shred on my brother.
