If anyone gets a clicking or rattling noise from a board u just bought, check the 4 screws holding the trucks to the board because sometimes they are loose resulting in the rattling you may hear
Hey i got a skateboard around 2 days ago lol and it's a popsicle 7.75 inch board from globe and it's pretty good i think It's also my first board and cost around 140 Aus so translate that to us or UK if u wanna know but i hope this helps and i will try to do this when I'm back from my current holiday The problem is that it's a lil sqeuky and really noisy like cracky and stuff when i turn and the bearings are really dirty I think and there slow on the back and give it a good spin itll last 4 sec or 3 and just stops without slowing down and my fronts are just horrible my right front wheel barley spins but my front left one does decent pls help
I have a question about the 4 nuts that hold the platform of the truck and board together. What are they called? Do i tighten them? I can't seem to tighten them on my board they feel loose. Im asking because i can literally wiggle the whole truck. I try twisting it left and right and it off sets seeming very loose. I feel like its going to dismantle the whole truck and fall off while riding. Please help somebody!
If your truck bolts are loose, then you will have to tighten them. Use a skate tool/wrench and a screwdriver/allen key (depends on your bolts) to tighten your bolts down until the truck no longer feels loose. Hope this helps!
+NOMNOMPEWPEW They are Caliber II trucks. Same ones I ride, I can vouch for them. Mine are 50 degrees. I believe his are 44. I prefer the 50, much more versatile, in my opinion.
+NOMNOMPEWPEW I'm using the first edition Caliber II's (literally the first batch that went on sale). Incredible trucks for the price - can really do anything with them. Living in the UK, plus customs charges I think that total price was £60+.
Vaseline is a petroleum derivate which may damage your bearings. I'd stick to natural lubricants like paraffin wax or, the best lubricant, white lithium grease.
I wouldn't use normal oil - it will damage your bushings and make them corrode. Stick to something like soap or white lithium grease. I've never done this myself but lard seems like it'd do a good job as well.
Are you sure your bushings are sat tightly in the correct position? It may be that the bushings are not sat correct, they are deformed, or they simply don't fit your trucks for some reason.
I'm a longboard dancer and soap doesn't seem to work for me. Like, it solves the issue of squeaks, but for some reason, dancing on it seems impossible for me. I've done the soap method twice, and for a good 2 weeks, it was like I was new to longboard dancing and I couldn't get any steps...
If you do a lot of dancing then soap probably isn't the best thing for you - or you're using too much. Try using white lithium grease, which is what bushings are lubricated with when they are manufactured.
Yea, soap doesn't seem ideal for longboard dancers. The first time I tried soap, I used a lot. The second time I tried it, I put an extremely tiny amount, but still had the same thing happen. Thanks for the suggestion though! Will try it out!
Thank you! I usually only do this once or twice a year. I skate pretty much every day and it takes a lot of riding for the bushings to get squeaky again. Hope this helps!
+Annie Alcantar Sorry for the really late reply! The soap may attract a little bit of dirt but it does nothing to affect how well this method works. Nowadays I tend to clean the truck up a bit after soaping it with a damp cloth to avoid the truck getting dirty, but this is really an aesthetic point and the dirt does nothing in affecting how the truck works. Hope this helps!
I really wouldn't advise that! Use soap or white lithium grease or something of that nature - I'm fairly sure the oils in shoe polish wouldn't do your bushings very good!
+Sinnan Rafi If enough soap is applied, then rain shouldn't effect the truck, and there should still be no squeaks! If you want a proper full-on job, then white lithium grease is the way to go.
This actually helped me A LOT. my board was creaking hella. thank you for making that quick an simple 💞🙌🏻

Does the sqweak happen because the board is new or is it something else
+Beven Pearlju Yeah, the same thing can be done on all types of trucks that use standard bushings!
tanks alot it worked great i was thinking that i have to buy new trucks but now they are good as new
Glad to know this helped you out!
You deserve more subs!
Really helpful and informative video. Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback!
At least your trucks smell good
very helpful, it works also in regular skateboard trucks. I know that's not unexpected :)
+ZEAN Cheers for the feedback!
This worked. Thank you so much
Use wax, works way better! Also does great in water!!👍🏻
thanks this help alot appreciate your video!
Thanks for your feedback!
great idea!
thanks man, this helped a bunch!
+Cason Leopold Glad to know I helped you out!
I was doing such things at the begging, but now to be honest i dont give a f* anymore about it ;P
Thanks the vid worked great
It works so well
Deodorant works pretty good too!
Deoderant will corrode your bushings pretty badly, I'd HIGHLY suggest not to use deoderant to lubricate your bushings.
OMG THANKS SO MUCH!
Works amazing!!!
how often do you do this to your board?
As often as the squeak comes back to your trucks - I do this twice a year!

I know I'm very late, but at that point just buy new bearings

what trucks are you using i really need new trucks and want the ones your using

Does anyone else's trucks become too loose after doing this? Like, I have to tighten them almost 4x as much as usual.
won't vaseline work better?

Life.saver
If I use normal oil for hinges no stuff will it work?
I wouldn't use normal oil - it will damage your bushings and make them corrode. Stick to something like soap or white lithium grease. I've never done this myself but lard seems like it'd do a good job as well.
Spirit Longboarding Does wax do?
If it's pure paraffin wax, then yes! If it's anything other than paraffin wax then I wouldn't risk it. Certain oils in wax can damage your bushings.
Spirit Longboarding Okay Thanks!
Spirit Longboarding I'm so sorry to bother you again, but on the box of My wax it says "Paraffin/vegetable wax". Is it safe to use ?
What to do if skateboard always go to the left side?
cry
can the same thing can be done on penny board trucks ?
+Beven Pearlju This will work with any bushing trucks, so yes, this will work with Penny trucks!
Is this method as good as the wax method?
Jeff Agar Paraffin wax works great for this. Make sure it is pure paraffin wax though, as other types of wax can damage your bushings!
Mine aren't squeaky but it makes a clicking noise when I turn, it isn't a complete smooth turn. Idk whats wrong :(
Are you sure your bushings are sat tightly in the correct position? It may be that the bushings are not sat correct, they are deformed, or they simply don't fit your trucks for some reason.
What kind of longbored is that
This is a Churchill MFG Kray. Not sure if you can get them anymore, but scout eBay/Amazon and you might be able to find it!

Hope the grease helps!
How long does it take the noise to come back?
Great video btw
Thank you! I usually only do this once or twice a year. I skate pretty much every day and it takes a lot of riding for the bushings to get squeaky again. Hope this helps!
Lmao i don't have bar soap with deodorant work
Why don't do this with grease???
Does the soap attract dirt?
+Annie Alcantar Sorry for the really late reply! The soap may attract a little bit of dirt but it does nothing to affect how well this method works.

Hope this helps!
Will be working wax for shoes?
Shoe wax probably would not work for this - you need something that all-natural and contains no harsh oils.
Ok, I've used soap too... it works well... thanks a lot for advice...
No problem, glad I could help!
Works 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Could one use shoe polish?
I really wouldn't advise that! Use soap or white lithium grease or something of that nature - I'm fairly sure the oils in shoe polish wouldn't do your bushings very good!
Spirit Longboarding Okay, thank you very much for the quick reply!
Name of that tool you used to unscrew?
I don’t know what it is called but just look up online “skateboard tool”
@@gigi5939 thanks, I found out yesterday and I ordered it today along with some wax
I cringed that was sooo much squeak. I bought some lithium grease and it's basically water proof.
Would WD40 be a better supplement?
Far worse. As It's more of a fluid. Use soap or wax or Lithium based grease.
what happens if the truck gets wet
+Sinnan Rafi If enough soap is applied, then rain shouldn't effect the truck, and there should still be no squeaks! If you want a proper full-on job, then white lithium grease is the way to go.
Spirit Longboarding thanks!
never mind
*trucks
Are we Americans the only ones that spell it longboard?
Ew Calibers on a drop through.. jk I do the same thing.
nonames000 It's a bit of an unusual setup, but it works for me!-John
Use crayons.
