Bushings Hard 98a 4-Pack (for 2 trucks)
SKU: HBU-98A (2 trucks)
Description
Dime Bag Hardware Bushings 98A Hard in black are the firmest bushings in the Dimebag Hardware lineup, built for maximum stability and a locked-in feel. Made in the USA, each 4-pack includes a conical top and cylindrical bottom bushing for each truck, enough to outfit your whole board.
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 Bushings Are For
- Heavier riders (190+ lb)
- High-speed and hill riding
- Big airs, gaps, and landings
- Skaters who want the tightest possible truck
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.

- High rebound urethane
- Conical top and cylindrical bottom bushings
- 98A hard durometer
Benefits

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.
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.
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.
What comes in the package?
2 conical top bushings and 2 cylindrical bottom bushings, which is enough to outfit both trucks on one board.
Will Dimebag bushings fit my trucks?
Yes, if you ride standard skateboard trucks. Dimebag Hardware bushings fit most major truck brands, including Independent, Thunder, and Venture. They are not sized for longboard or reverse-kingpin trucks.
