Kingpin Bushings sit tightly in position & hold the Kingpin in a wear-free position between the moving metal parts of the hanger & Baseplate. The Bushings allow the movement (steering) without wearing out the metal parts.

A Kingpin bushing is a small delicate item & that is subjected to a lot of forces & stress, through regular use they will ultimately wear out & need replacing. Depending on what surface you are riding on & the nature of your riding style will depend on just how long these bushings will last you.

When assembling the SAVAGE Trucks, Kingpin Bushings are now installed as standard with a Re-ENFORCEMENT RING. The Re-enforcement ring is made from slightly flexible yet very strong GR4 Glass fiber & adds further support around the exterior of the kingpin bushing cap, supporting the assembly & preventing sideways movement on the kingpin between the Baseplate & Hanger. 

To make sure your trucks are always performing at their best you should keep some spare bushings on the shelf at home & inspect them on a regular basis (preferably before riding) & in particular replace any that are showing signs of wear & then even if they are not broken or showing wear, for the sake of keeping everything updated and refreshed from time to time replace them anyway...

The difference between the four bushings is the thickness of the Cap. The different Cap sizes are 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm & 3mm. This difference in each of the bushing bases allows us to bridge any tolerance issues we get in the Infinity & Vertigo Trucks allowing us to resolve any measurement problems.

To make sure your trucks are always performing at their best you should keep some spare on the shelf at home & inspect these tiny bushings regular basis (preferably before riding) & in particular replace any that are showing signs of wear & then even if they are not broken from time to time replace them anyway...

The difference between the four bushings is the thickness of the base. The different base sizes are 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm. 2.5mm is the standard size we work to. As all trucks have 4 bushings this .5mm difference in each of the bushing bases allows us to bridge a maximum distance of 2mm (4x.05mm=2m) resolving any foreseeable problems.

Kingpin Bushing 2mm Re-enforcement Ring

The precision made Kingpin Bushings locate the Kingpin in a wear-free position between the hanger & Baseplate. 

The Kingpin bushings are a small item & are subjected to a lot of forces and through normal/regular use they will ultimately need replacing over time. Depending on what surface you are riding on will depend on how long these bushings will last you. So to make sure your trucks are always performing at their best inspect these Bushings regularly (preferably before riding) & in particular replace any that are showing signs of wear & from time to time replace them anyway...
