What if your trucks are loose like that and the cams aren't broken??? I just replaced my cams, maybe 3-4 days ago and they were great until now and the grease is all black and gone and my trucks were doing what was up there and i took them out and they are fine, then i relubed them and they do the same thing. help??

is it possible to fix the wave cam melting it back together?

[originalhowto]

@wrestlemaniac202 No that will not work.

Hey my wave cam was broken so i replaced it and the day after i replaced the cam when i was not riding it the trucks became loose ably their selves i keep on tightening every day when i want to ride it because it is too lose how do i stop this problem???

Please Respond !!!!!!!!!!!

@Landyachtzlongboard I think you are referring to the king pin becoming loose? If that is the case you can put two hex nuts on the end instead of one. This will lock the first nut down and stop the trucks from getting loose as you ride.

should it wobble even a little? Like, I'm tightening it down and everything, but it still moves around a bit. I thought the movement was the wave cams so I bought a new pair, but it really doesn't seem like that. Also, how come in the video you can put them on without taking them off but I can't? Another thing, it seems like my wave cam is being pulled down into the truck, but the truck is still wobbling. Seriously confused and majorly frustrated. Please get back to me on this.

i weigh 220 and am riding a apex 37 carbon middle weight, what springs should i use for doing tricks like shuvits and stand up slides?

[chunkysenior]

hey, im going to order the original s10 trucks but i was wondering whether or not to order the med. tension springs or to stick with the standards. I like having a tighter feel to my trucks but still have the freedom to make tight turns. When I used these trucks with the standards, it felt like if i turned a little bit i would completely wipe out. What Should I Get? Please respond!

Hello, when I ride my truck, wave camera is out of the metal cage as is right, the truck is not more secure. I wonder if this is normal? It is only when I press firmly over and wave chamber is inside the metal cage.

@originalhowto Has any consideration gone into building wave cams out of a different more durable material? What would happen with a metal cam? I would buy it.

@originalhowto Hey, my trucks are really lose, the wave cams are not broken. when i tighten them down do a almost not lose state the wave cam goes inside the base plate. ive already gotten a new base plate twice, same problem bolth times. this is really frustrating and its affecting my skating greatly so if u know a fix plz tell me! thanks.

[screamingspg]

i burn though them pretty quick, ive always wondered why origanal hasnt cast them out of brass, or another stronger material

@OFFICIALLYDC That sir is an opinion, Original trucks work as trucks and thats what their supposed to do, thats a fact

[metallicman711]

@OFFICIALLYDC so if you think they suck, which they dont, why are you even on this video? retard.

How about squeaky sound coming from the trucks ?
