    Centerline Matrix 5's

    I picked up a set of Centerline Matrix 5's a while back that need to be polished. I was thinking of having them sent out to be polished and clear coated so I will not have to polish them again later. Has anyone ever tried this before? Is it a bad idea? Does anyone know someone that can do...

    I have a roaring sound coming from the rear of my L that I assume is the wheel bearings. I have read that these trucks are hard on axle bearing anyway. Do they make a better aftermarket bearing or do I just need to order factory replacements? Where is a good place to order repair parts? What...
