A skateboard truck, consisting of:
- a kingpin consisting of a head portion,
- a body portion, and a plurality of kingpin threads,
- a base consisting of a flat portion through which exist two or more attachment holes for attaching the base to the bottom of the deck of a skateboard and a base bushing receptacle portion which has a roughly cylindrical cavity into which the bushing fits, a hole through which the kingpin fits, a bushing with a kingpin hole through the center of a diameter sufficient to allow the kingpin to pass,
- a hanger unit consisting of an axel with axel threads at both ends, a hanger body through which the axel fits, a hanger bushing receptacle of a size sufficient to allow the bushing to be inserted, a hole through which the kingpin fits, and
- a nut with threads which mate with the kingpin threads, such that by attaching the base to a skateboard, attaching two wheels to the axel, and threading the kingpin through, in order, the base, the bushing, the hanger, and the nut, the wheels can be attached to the skateboard with only one axis of contact,
- such that when a rider places weight on one side or the other of the skateboard, the wheels rotate about the kingpin without relying on a secondary member for support or as a pivot axis.
