Trucks

Trucks are the two metal under-carriages that enable the skateboard to turn. They also connect the deck to the wheels. Skateboard trucks are made from aluminium and steel, consisting of two main parts, a hanger that houses an axel that the wheels are fixed to, and a baseplate that attaches to the deck. The two parts are joined by a large Kingpin bolt that enables steering, along with two rubber bushings and a pivot cup.
