    Default Are my randals dead?

    hey,

    ive had my randal 180s for about 1 3/4 years and they just dont ride like they used to. theres always some slop to them, they dont turn smoothly from one side to the other. they are definitely ridable but i dont remember them being like that when i got them. rebound sucks too. i have tried vemons, flat washers and new pivot cups. could they be dead?

    What about your kingpin hole? If that's worn the whole kingpin and hanger assembly will wiggle. Something could also be bent, but I bet your baseplate's kingpin hole is pretty worn.

    at this rate, your randals have cost you about 6 cents a day. maybe it might just be time to invest in another set.

    ive had my randals for 2 years.. and more than abused them.... its most likely your bushings.. not your trucks.

    Replace your bushings and pivot cups. May want to replace the kingpins, too.

    It definitely seems like a bushing issue
