why the hell are the bears so crappy?

set of 1052's i had bent to #### and the bushing seats, just god awful, sheared right out of the hangars by what? the effing kingpin?

it's unfortunate, because i actually like landy, or want to, but this kind of stuff is re-occurring, and just makes them seem like they couldn't care less.

maybe its the old batches that suck. i have the newer generation and have ad no problem with them, except that the kingpin gets in the way of changing bushings, flipp hanger, etc. but ive done everything on em from 40-45mph runs, garages, carving, sliding and have not had any messed up seats or bent hanger...but im waiting on the hangers to go over time...it happens

actually reading this, i noticed that when i put my trucks on/off the bushing seat scraped against the kingpin, maybe that weakens it enough to shatter the seat?

I don't know if I sold it to you or the person you bought it from, but I clearly remember thinking thinking "Oh ####, I hope nobody got hurt" when the failure pics were first posted. I gotta ask, did you ever really like how that truck worked?
