| yeh, i have ran out of bushings so i made these, they are a sort material and turn realy nice, andd ive realised that they cant crack, becasue of the material and the hole, the hole, when it is not on a truck is hardly noticable, but but it on the kingpin and push it on with your tool the kingpin will pop straight through tommorow i will work on some shaping but for now they still are great turning wise but astecily they arnt that rounded. when you have no washers on this bushings are crazy soft so if you like loose trucks these are pretty nice, but if you put washers on they turn into a solid medium, i havnt tryed this but i assume if you tightened them loads they would go tight but thats not my preference i will probably experiment and try these out but for know performance wise, i think these are realy good! and i 100% made these by my self http://www.flickr.com/photos/89244921@N08/8173503159/in/photostreamhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/89244921@N08/8173502645/in/photostream/http://www.flickr.com/photos/89244921@N08/8173532820/in/photostream/sorry for fuzzy photos, my camera isnt the best at taking pcitures of small things at close up |

| It kinda looks like bushings made from rubber wristbands. I could be wrong though. |
