Just make sure the kingpins ( the nut that faces the road ) are both facing the center of the board. Mounting a truck backwards could cause some serious turning issues, and could be unsafe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713233564012809613.post-13152414632686338132011-05-20T20:37:10.364-06:002011-05-20T20:37:10.364-06:00Oh my gosh, thanks Mark!
