the pivot bushing is dirty. take your trucks appart, and try melting a tiny bit of wax in there, or just crayon it on. might wanna try it on the bushings too.

ya its not really bad, some dirt probably got in the wheel. its pretty normal. If u want to get rid of it just spray wd-40 on the inside of the wheel and bearing
