Independent Conical Cushions

These are specifically designed for Independent trucks. While they might physically fit on other brands, the geometry is optimized for Independent's hanger and baseplate interface, so we recommend sticking to Independent trucks for the best performance.

The conical shape allows for a greater range of motion and a more responsive, fluid turn. It provides less resistance at the start of the turn compared to a cylindrical bushing, making it ideal for skaters who prefer a looser, more surfy feel.

Yes, this is a complete set containing four bushings, which is exactly what you need to replace the cushions on both your front and rear trucks.

You should consider replacing them if your trucks feel sloppy, don't return to center properly, or if you notice visible cracks and crumbling in the urethane. If your board feels unresponsive or leans to one side even when you're standing still, it's time for a fresh set.
