Hey bo's, been away for a while and was saddened to hear of sandblasters recent demise but I got over it shortly. Anyways, I need to replace the bushings on my carver. I was about to check out on the website when I saw the shipping for the $5 bushings was going to be $25. I guess they only ship with fedex. I draw the line when the shipping is 5x the purchase price. Has anyone ordered from them before? Or can anyone recommend some bushings that I can get off amazon? The squeak is driving me nuts and i gotta be damaging something.
Where's emazz when you need him? He seemed to be one of SI's carver enthusiasts. Maybe PM him? Good luck with your quest.
http://a.co/1VWPXoX These look like they will work. They are 87a hardness and look just like the OEM carver bushings. I'm not a carver expert, but as long as you're not hearing scraping or grinding you're likely not doing any damage. I have had trucks that squeaked since the day they were new and others that were completely silent. I guess I just got used to the sound of the squeaky ones. These are regular skateboard trucks though, not carver.
email back from carver states they can do it for $9 with no guarantees on how long it will take or the condition when they get here. I'm heading to a local shop.
