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?
That sounds weird, are you sure it`s coming from the wheel? A noise like that usually comes from the pivot cup, try putting some soap there to lubricate it, and I wouldn`t be surpised if your noise went away

i had same noise making me nuts,after taking off all 4 wheels cleaning the bearings,it was still there.
turned out i had one slightly loose screw,"no not in my head "the mounting hardware tighten it down a bit,noise was gone.
check th pivot cup also.

Ive already put a little lithium grease on the bushings and pivot cups. Im pretty sure its from the bearing because if i loosen it enough it will quiet down.But i have to loosen it so much that i dont feel comfortable keeping my wheel that loose, i like to have no movement.
