Bushing
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Bushings cushion the truck of an axle. In terms of skateboarding, the bushing can be stiffer or softer. A stiffer bushing provides a more stable ride and prevents wobbling at higher speeds where a softer bushing allows for a softer ride with the ability to carve turns more easily.
Plain bearings are also referred to as bushings.
