Thank you Biff!
Maybe they just need to get broken in?

 I got my hands on armor all protectant original. Anyway, I sprayed it on the bushings and moved the trucks around. NO SQUEAKS! I can now listen to the sound of the wheels or birds or whatever if I want too. I hope it doesnt degrade the bushings but its nice for them to not squeak annoying for once. And not to have to buy new bushings when these are otherwise good!

 You are very welcome. I'm glad that worked for you. Don't be surprised if you have to do it again soon. It might take the bushings a couple of treatments to keep them rehydrated.

To tell you the truth, I had no idea whether or not the Armor-All would work, but it made sense to me that it would. Now, go and enjoy nature.

Funny, at the skate park last night, there was a biker whose bike squeaked loudly. It sounded like a sick goose! Of course, I'd guess that he needed grease.

 lol, maybe not. It started squeaking soon after I started skating? Maybe there isnt a solution besides new bushings, bummer, will try one more time.

 I forgot to tell you: on the Krux trucks, there is a nylon or teflon slice between the metal cap and the bushing to avoid unscrewing effects, so it might help too in your case

 I've had them for a year, still squeaking. Guess I just got a bad set.
