Does anyone know what the small rubber gromets on a skatebaord truck are called. Just seeing if I can get spares. Not the actual rubbers, rather the grommet located on the other part where the truck meets the truck base.Mine has split resulting in lateral movement of the trucks ( like a steering motion as opposed to the correct tilting motion ) Had a look online but cannot see anything that resembles what i'm after.

Thanks

The skate kids would refer to them as spill trunny's.

I met the bloke that invented the skate board truck about a year ago in Brighton, interesting bloke, an inventor.

"Don't thank me for inventing, kids, it was all just in a day's work...... As an inventor."
