Squeaky Board


i am seriously not mechanically inclined.......at all....i work in a lab all day .LOL anyways. today i ATB'd without using my headphones at all and just wanted to listen to the wind while i messed around. I never noticed this but my board is soooo squeaky. squeaks when i jump,squeaks when i turn. and when i get on it too. will some Wd40 take care of this or is everything loose, and needs tighening? :P or is it suppose to be like that?

I wouldn't use WD-40. It picks up too much dirt. I'd use bike chain lube like white lightening which sheds dirt.

As far as what is causing the squeaking......couldn't tell ya.:frog: My board is pretty quiet although the egg shocks "pop" sometimes.

ya see mine doesn't have egg shocks it's one of the lower price point MBS boards. I will def look into white lightening. and lube it up. it's for sure the trucks (lol what else could it be) i was just messing around with it. i think i need to lube up the joints and stuff and now that i found the actual directions on MBS boards. i will follow up on them and make sure my wheels are on properly. when it was shipped to me the wheels were off and with my excitement just put them on and never followed up making sure they were tightened to proper tourque.:megan:
