1040 grizzlies

[808rayne]

Hey guys I was wondering about the 1040 bear grizzlies because lastnight I was trying to flip them but wen I did and stood on it I could feel like the bushings were loose like I kinda felt like a thump in the trucks. I have tried switching the bushings around and tried flipping the kingpin also but nomatter what way I try it
is still sloppy. Any advice
thanks

kind of like a clicking or a grinding? The clicking would be your bushings unseating which is definitely plausible if youre using barrels or something since the old bears have no bushing seat whatsoever. The other thing is could be is the kingpin grinding the hole in the hangar, since its flipped it might be hitting, i know my bears had a similar problem.

Exactly like Brain Smoothie said. Sometimes barrels can get squirmy in these seats.
This can become more of a problem when you flip your hangers. Depending on your bottom bushing height, the hanger may not be contacting the bushing squarely. You may need to shim the bottom up a little.
Not as big of a deal on a flippable truck with a more pronounced seat like a Paris, but with a Grizzly or Randal it can lead to some seating problems.
