Indy's good but...

When you say "the kingpin was loose" do you mean the kingpin nut came loose? Simple fix: tighten it. Very few people skate trucks right how they come out of the box, you adjust the tightness to your preference. If you tighten down the locking threads on the nut keep it from coming loose, and if you loosen it so much that the kingpin threads aren't screwed onto the locking threads on the end of the nut then that's user error but can be fixed with things like putting common teflon tape on the kingpin threads then putting the nut back on, or using a very small amount of low-strength Loc-Tite. You can buy this stuff as well as replacement nuts at any regular hardware store for a couple dollars.

I've skated Indy;s almost exclusively for over 25 years and the only time I ever had them come loose it was because the kingpin nut was old (locking threads worn out) of because I had it too loose in the 1st place. Don't blame the trucks for something you can easily remedy with a 9/16" wrench and a little common sense.

You also say "Indy'sgood but.." Does one little inconvenience (tightening a nut) really justify a 1/5 star review? Geez.
