Kahas Creaking

Hey, My front truck on my kahas is making this weird sort of creaking/clicking noise, and I have tried using different bearings, I have tried lubing the pivot and I just cant think of anything else it could be?

I dont see how bushings could be making this noise, Its only the front truck, and the noise sounds like its metal creaking or something, sort of a rattling sound, but I will try changing bushings

they must be stuffed.

I'll buy em off you for $50.

 

Seriously though,

have a look and see if the kingpin is scoring on the inside hole through the hanger. It can happen esp with loose or soft bushes.

bush washers can also make sounds from time to time. Because your full weight is compressing the hanger into the bottom bush the top bush has slack and the washer has room to rattle.

 

I'd seriously doubt it would be any major fault with the truck.

I have tried changing washers but also, It does happen slightly less with tight trucks I just realised, If I have em really tight it barely happens/not at all.


I have 88a sabres in

It probably is just the washer, But if it is why would it only happen on one truck?
