What kind of trucks /bushings are they? You can buy upgraded pivot cup bushings - but I can’t quite tell from your post: Are you saying the bushing is cracking or the pivot cup in the metal baseplate is cracking? Neither scenario is common - unless it’s a cracked baseplate that is chewing up the bushings? They might be old, brittle bushings. But provide some more detail and maybe someone has some insight
