    Default Bushing top & bottoms

    Sorry if this is a redundant thread - but I'm not finding the answer to this question by searching - I know that conical bushings have a different sized top & bottom bushing (the top bushing is slightly shorter) - is this true with barrel bushings? Or are all barrel bushings the same size, so that you can use them either top or bottom? thx

    Generally barrels are all the same, use them top or bottom as you please.

    what he said ^

    I also just got an email reply from stoked skateboards saying the same thing.

    Now I just need to figure out what size washer is best for barrel bushings. Any thoughts?

    I use any washers that will cover the whole bottom of the bushing.

    Right, but anyone know what the dimension of such a washer is? Cuz its not like I can line them up and see how they fit when I'm doing the order online....
