A skateboard axle assembly includes a base attached to the underside of a skateboard, and a hanger which supports the axle. The hanger is connected to the base by a bolt and two nylon washers that permit a slight motion of the axle with respect to the base when the skateboard user makes a turn. In addition a small stud mounted on the hanger screws into the base an adjusted depth to adjust the clearance between the wheels and the skateboard.

1. A wheeled truck for a skateboard, comprising:a base having an upper skateboard mounting surface, and means for attaching said upper mounting surface of the base to the underside of a skateboard;a yoke (38) having a bottom opening (30);a wheel axle having a longitudinal axis, mounted on the yoke;said bottom opening having an axis forming an acute angle with respect to the mounting surface of the base;an elongated threaded adjustment leg (60) having a rounded upper end received in the bottom opening (30) in the base, the adjustment leg having a longitudinal axis that intersects the axle axis and being disposed at an acute angle with respect to the mounting surface of the base, the rounded end permitting the yoke to tilt with respect to the base;the adjustment leg having a lower end threadably connected to the yoke to adjust the distance between the axle and the base;an elongated member (54) having an upper end connected to the base along an axis that lies in an acute angle with respect to the mounting surface of the base;a pair of resilient pads (50, 52) having central apertures mounted on the elongated member, and structure carried on a lower end of the elongated member such that the resilient pads are sandwiched between the base and said structure;a yoke structure sandwiched between the pair of resilient pads, such that the axle is movable with respect to the base;a nut (70) threadably mounted on the adjustment leg and engaged with the yoke to lock the adjustment leg in an adjusted position; andthe base having an internally threaded second bottom opening (28), and including a stainless steel internally threaded sleeve (68) disposed in said second bottom opening for receiving the upper end of the adjustment leg.2. A wheeled truck as defined in claim 1, in which the axis of the adjustment leg intersects the longitudinal axis of the elongated member.3. A wheeled truck as defined in claim 1, in which the rounded upper end of the adjustment member is slidably mounted in the bottom opening in the base.4. A wheeled truck as defined in claim 1, including a pair of wheels mounted on the axle.5. A wheeled truck as defined in claim 1, in which the axis of the elongated member intersects the longitudinal axis of the adjustment member at an acute angle.
