Alright i just got new bearings awhile ago, which are oust moc 5's. All new bearing spacers and washers and I made sure they were the right size and everything. Now every time I turn or carve my front left wheel makes a horrible creeking sound. It makes a sound similar to when your pushing the bearing into the wheel except over and over again.Ive tried tightening and loosening it in every way i can think of and it just wont go away. I thought that it might be the fact that i have very wide wheels, abec 11 gumballs and the fact that im a big guy,174LBS. And when im carving most of my weight goes to the left and i figured the side loads on the bearings are just to great and causing them to bind.Any suggestions?
