Abstract:
1. A skateboard truck insert adapted to be positioned between a base plate and an axle of a skateboard truck, the skateboard truck comprising: an intermediary member; a truck insert pin projecting from the intermediary member for positioning in a pin receiving hole in the base plate; a mounting portion at one end of the intermediary member with an oversized through hole; a blind hole at an end of the intermediary member opposite the one end for receiving an axle pin projecting from the axle; an axle bolt hole for positioning an axle bolt extending into the axle, wherein the axle bolt hole is spaced from the blind hole and is located in the intermediary member between the oversized through hole in the mounting portion and the blind hole; a first resilient bushing, a second resilient bushing and a third resilient bushing, all three said resilient bushings positioned coaxial with the oversized through hole; a truck insert bolt protruding from the baseplate, and positioned through the first resilient bushing, the oversized through hole, the second resilient bushing, and into the third resilient bushing; the threaded end of said truck insert bolt firmly supporting said third resilient bushing; a first recess and a second recess on either side of the mounting portion coaxial with the oversized through hole; wherein the first resilient bushing and the second resilient bushing are respectively positioned in the first recess and the second recess; a first washer and a second washer positioned against respective outer ends of the first resilient bushing and the second resilient bushing; and a third washer positioned against the third resilient bushing, wherein said first, second and third resilient bushings are aligned co-axially with each other; the truck insert bolt protruding from the baseplate and positioned through the first washer, the first resilient bushing, the oversized through hole, the second resilient bushing, the second washer, a dual purpose nut, the third washer and into the third resilient bushing; wherein a frictional contact between the axle, the third resilient bushing and the truck insert bolt resists rotation of the axle and rotation of the intermediary member.
