Independent Standard Cylinder Bushings in hard black at 94a durometer deliver maximum stability and precision control for skateboarders who want a tight, locked-in truck feel. Crafted from Independent’s ultra-high rebound Genuine Parts urethane, these cushions provide exceptional responsiveness with minimal break-in time so you can set up and ride immediately. The firm 94a hardness reduces wheelbite, tightens steering response, and improves grind control, making them ideal for street, park, and technical skating while suiting heavier riders who prioritize control over excessive lean. Properly sized to fit Independent trucks as well as most other brands including Venture and Thunder, each pack includes two top bushings, two bottom bushings, and cup washers—enough to equip two complete trucks. The classic black finish offers a clean durable look while the high-rebound material holds up under daily abuse, giving a reliable high-speed feel without slop.
Hard 94a Locked-In Stability
The hard 94a durometer paired with Independent’s ultra-high rebound formula gives these Standard Cylinder Bushings a firm yet responsive feel that snaps back to center instantly after every turn, carve, or landing. This custom urethane shortens the usual break-in period and keeps the performance consistent from the first session, delivering precise steering input with almost no excess play. The cylinder shape uses more urethane for added support and a steadier, more predictable ride compared to conical options, resisting compression under load and cutting down on speed wobble at higher speeds. Heavier riders and anyone who wants a locked-in setup gain greater confidence on technical lines, improved grind control, and reduced wheelbite. Whether bombing park transitions or locking in street grinds, the black 94a cushions maintain their shape and rebound under pressure for reliable, predictable performance. The included cup washers further enhance adjustability so you can fine-tune your trucks to the exact tightness you prefer.
