Independent
SKU: INDY417
Description
Independent Standard Conical Bushings 88A Soft in red pair ultra high rebound Genuine Parts urethane with a conical shape for a loose, quick-turning truck. As the softest conical option, they're made for skaters who want their trucks to react to every lean.
A conical bushing has less urethane than a cylinder, so your truck starts turning with less effort. Combined with a soft 88A formula, you get deep carves, fast kickturns, and easy lines through transition.
Who 88A Soft Standard Conical Are For
- Lighter riders who want an easy, responsive turn
- Bowl, pool, and transition skaters
- Cruising and carving
- Skaters who want loose trucks without backing off the kingpin nut

FAQ
Can soft bushings cause wheel bite?
Looser trucks lean further, so wheel bite is more likely with large wheels or low trucks. Riser pads fix this if it happens.
What's the difference between Indy Standard Conical and Standard Cylinder bushings?
Both use the same ultra high rebound Genuine Parts urethane and fit the same trucks. Conical bushings have less urethane for a quicker, more responsive turn, while cylinder bushings have more urethane for extra support and a steadier feel.
Will these fit my trucks?
Yes, if you ride standard skateboard trucks. Indy Standard bushings are designed for Independent trucks and fit most other brands, including Venture and Thunder. If you ride Independent Stage 1 through 7 or the Stage 4 reissue, choose Original Cushions instead.
Do Indy bushings need to be broken in?
Very little. The ultra high rebound Genuine Parts formula is designed for less break-in time, so they feel right quickly.
