  • Publication number: 20040041360
    Abstract: A truck assembly for a skateboard, having a body for mounting to the underside of a skateboard deck. The body supports an axle and wheels mounted for pivoted movement for steering and includes adjustment means for varying steering characteristics of the skateboard. The axle may be mounted by a pair of opposite trunnions which define a pivot axis for the axle. The pivot axis is adjustable by a rotatable boss, preferably with a pivot arm which may be locked in place by a spring loaded pin inserted into a selected aperture. The truck may include two pairs of angled springs which are arranged similar to adjacent sides of a triangle and adapted to centre the axle. The truck assembly may include a removable spacer locatable between the deck and axle and extension pieces for the axle.
