Hey, really good video!

I do tend to do my bushing tightening different from the usual advice. I find that when I tighten the bushing to the point where I can spin the washer isn't tight enough. It always introduces rattling for me as the bushing compresses under my weight.

Personally I tighten the bushings to a point where its tight enough to not rattle, but also not so tight that it gets deformed. I really think as long as its not deforming after tightening it's all good

Even more wisdom ha! These videos will keep me stoked all through winter

I'm trying to replace the flimsy cup washers that come with the polar bear 105mm trucks. I swapped mine with some thicker ones from dimebag that looked fine at first, but I think they are too small and are actually cutting into my cone bushings on deep carves :/ Anyone know a good cup washer that is a bit thicker/heavy duty that fits polar bear trucks nicely??

I was literally about to ask you to make a bushing video on your previous upload lol. This is exactly what I wanted, not many videos went in depth on how you can have different hardness between boardside and roadside. Keep this up, I think your channel is gonna be one of the best LB channels! :D
