I finally checked out what I replaced the junk one with.
OER is the brand. They fit, even the length was correct, unlike the first batch.
I believe the junk was off of Ebay? Not really sure but these are the best i have found.
As expensive as it is to restore these trucks I hate getting UN-usable junk.
Typically it is not worth attempting to return or too much time has passed before I find out the product was junk.
These are soft and seem to work perfectly. $10.99
