Search before you post.

I only reply because I love wax.

Rub wax all over your bushings and put some in your pivot cup. Also, check if your washer is rubbing the hanger. Install risers or shock pads between the board and the truck.

The clicking is totally normally.

Also, if you rub wax on your board where you'd get wheelbite, that will reduce friction and lower the chance of crashing.

for the pivot and bushings yes, not sure about the wheelbite thing tho, but i've never heard clicking from my pivot cup. check the washer.

Usually in my own experience:
Clicking = Bearings
Groaning (like heavy weight on a rope in an action movie groaning) = pivot cup

I've heard it from a pivot cup before. It's more of a rubber-slipping sound more than a click, but I've heard people describe it as a click. As far as the wheelbite thing, I only suggested that because I love wax.

You can use soap. I don't. I use a 1:2.5 ratio of candle wax melted with cooking oil, then cooled. You can also use grease if you want. Hell, use Crisco cooking lard.

He said while turning. Clicking in your bearings means it's time to clean them.
