When choosing a longboard truck, you have to answer the question of what you want to do, where you ride and how you want your board to behave. The individual parts of an axle play a major role here. You can adjust and replace many parts if necessary.
Mounting - Top Mount or Drop Through.
With a top mount, the axle is classically screwed to the underside of the board.
The drop through trucks are mounted through a cutout in the deck. The deck is therefore lower and is more comfortable to drive (especially for beginners) because the distance to the ground is very small.
Hanger - a T-pice of an truck connected to the baseplate by kingpins. Two plastic bushings on the kingpin ensure that the truck can move. You need two bushings: upper and lower. The lower bushing is between the baseplate and the hanger, the upper bushing is between the hanger and the head of the kingpin.
