2mm Kingpin Bushing Re-enforcement Rings are only used in the assembly of the SAVAGE Trucks.

The Kingpin Bushing Re-enforcement Ring is pushed onto or over the top of the Kingpin Bushing after it has been inserted into the Hanger & before the baseplate is presented for connection.

The Re-enforcement ring spreads the weight of the connection & gives extra support to the tiny kingpin bushings, whilst at the same time allowing free movement between the Hanger & Baseplate (steering) without wearing out the metal parts.

The Kingpin Bushings are a small perishable item. They are subjected to a lot of forces & stress, although they are now supported by a Kingpin Bushing re-enforcement ring, through regular abuse the Kingpin Bushings will ultimately wear out & eventually need replacing.

Depending on what surface you are riding on & the nature of your riding style will depend on how long your bushings will last you.

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

One way to check your bushings is to man h&le the truck when fitted to the deck... If you feel any play between the Hanger & the Baseplate then you definitely need to replace the bushings straight away before you do damage to the hanger.

Worn out Bushings will cause the kingpin to rub in the Hanger kingpin hole... The kingpin is much stronger than the Aluminum used to make the hanger & the kingpin will wear a nasty hole of you do not fix the problem before it gets too late.

If you ride with trucks that have play in them, then you are lining yourself up for an accident... If you feel any play, this can at speed convert to wobble & we all know riding with a board with a wobble will lead to accidents, so it is wise to check your bushings & rings on a regular basis.

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.

As all the metal parts are hand constructed here in the UK, so it has been easy for us to control the construction of the Trucks to ensure each truck that leaves the building has the correct size bushings fitted & therefore we can ensure totally smooth steering system in every Truck like we always brag about :-)
