    Default bushing cap hates hangar

    I just got a set of new black paris 180 trucks and i've noticed that with some hard carving the metal bushing cap in the front truck has been rubbing the insides of the hangar (paint's been scratching off). Is this normal?

    Think this could be an issue later? Would harder duro bushings or something prevent bushing cap-hangar contact? guess it's worth a try...

    Quick fix is to flip the washer, and then get flat washers for it.

    Yeah. There is a flat washer thread going around. Even then, I carve so hard, my flat washer still hits my hangars.

    Best bet is to just hit up the hardware store and and get a few washer that will fit a 3/8" bolt. I use washers that are slightly smaller than the bushing.
