Dimebag Hardware Bushing Kit Black 98A
SKU: DB-BUSHKIT-BLK
Description
The Dime Bag Hardware Rebuild Kit 98A in black rebuilds your trucks with the firmest Dimebag bushing for maximum stability. Made in the USA, it includes 4 cone and cylinder bushings, 4 cup washers, and 2 pivot cups, exactly what your trucks need for a full upgrade.
98A barely compresses, giving you a tight truck that holds its line at speed and stays planted through big landings. It's made for heavier riders and anyone who wants minimal lean.
Who 98A Dimebag Rebuild Kits Are For
- Heavier riders (190+ lb)
- High-speed and hill riding
- Big airs, gaps, and landings
- Skaters who want the tightest possible truck
Everything Your Trucks Need
Bushings aren't the only parts that wear out. Cracked pivot cups cause squeaks and sloppy turning, and bent or worn washers can pinch or shift your bushings. This kit replaces all three at once, so your trucks feel like new without buying a new set.
Cone on Top, Cylinder on the Bottom
Every Dimebag bushing set pairs a conical top bushing with a cylindrical bottom bushing. The cone has less urethane, so your truck starts leaning with less effort. The cylinder has more material, adding support and helping your truck return to center. You get a responsive turn that still feels stable.
Made in the USA
Dime Bag Hardware (Dimebag) bushings are made in the USA with high rebound urethane from a leading U.S. urethane supplier. High rebound urethane makes all the difference in a skateboard truck: it returns to center quickly, holds its shape, and keeps your trucks feeling consistent session after session.

Dimebag Hardware Durometer Guide
Durometer measures how hard a bushing is. Lower numbers are softer and turn more easily; higher numbers are firmer and more stable. Rider weights are a general starting point. If you like loose trucks, go a step softer; if you like tight trucks, go a step harder.
| Durometer | Hardness | Feel | Best For | Rider Weight (approx.) | Bushings | Rebuild Kit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 88A | Soft | Loosest, easiest turning | Transition, bowls, cruising | Under 120 lb | Blue | Blue |
| 90A | Soft | Loose with a little more support | Transition, cruising, carving | 100-150 lb | Pink | Pink |
| 91A | Soft | Loose, lively all-around feel | Park, transition, cruising | 120-160 lb | Purple | Purple |
| 92A | Soft-Medium | Versatile, slightly loose | A bit of everything | 130-170 lb | Green | Green |
| 93A | Medium | Balanced turn and stability | Street, park, all-around | 140-180 lb | Orange | Orange |
| 94A | Medium | Balanced with a firmer base | Street and park | 150-190 lb | Yellow | Yellow |
| 95A | Medium Hard | Stable with some lean | Street, ledges, rails | 160-200 lb | White | White |
| 96A | Medium Hard | Tight and controlled | Technical street, speed | 175-210 lb | Red | Red |
| 98A | Hard | Firmest, locked-in | Heavy riders, speed, big landings | 190+ lb | Black | Black |
FAQ
Can I still turn on 98A bushings?
Yes. Turning takes more effort than softer bushings, and you can loosen your kingpin nut slightly to dial in the feel.
What comes in the rebuild kit?
2 conical top bushings, 2 cylindrical bottom bushings, 4 cup washers, and 2 pivot cups, which is everything needed to rebuild both trucks on one board.
Should I get bushings only or the rebuild kit?
If only your bushings are worn, the bushing 4-pack is all you need. If your trucks squeak, feel sloppy, or your washers and pivot cups are worn, go with the rebuild kit to replace everything at once.
How do I choose the right durometer?
Start with your weight and riding style. Lighter riders and skaters who like loose trucks should look at 88A to 92A. Most riders do well with 93A to 95A. Heavier riders and skaters who want tight, stable trucks should look at 96A to 98A. Check the durometer guide on this page for details.
Will this rebuild kit fit my trucks?
Yes, if you ride standard skateboard trucks. The kit fits most major truck brands, including Independent, Thunder, and Venture. It is not sized for longboard or reverse-kingpin trucks.
