Abrégé

A skateboard truck comprising a hanger pivotably mounted to a base, the hanger having a central aperture extending through opposite sides and a kingpin passing through the hanger central aperture. The truck includes a first and second bushing received on the kingpin, a first bushing seat receiving a portion of one of the first and second bushings and a second bushing seat receiving a portion of the other of the first and second bushings. The first and second bushing seats have different wall configurations. The hanger may be mounted to permit the first bushing to deform, rotating the hanger with respect to the base to a degree when subject to a force offset from the axis of the kingpin. The hanger may be reversibly mounted to permit the first bushing to deform, rotating the hanger with respect to the base to a different degree when subject to the same force.

The key when positioned within the key cavity of the hanger confines the pivot of the hanger on a centerline which bisects the hanger. The key may include extending cylindrical tabs which may allow for the hanger to freely swivel about the kingpin passing therethrough without the use of bearing surfaces. The bushings are positioned on the kingpin and on opposite sides of the key and key cavity of the hanger so as to urge the hanger to its center position.
