Matrix Trucks lite.

I want to know if this is normal or if MBS just made bad trucks.
So, I got my first mountainboard a while ago and love the fact that the trucks had some spring suspensions. I've gotten alot better now (I freestyle BTW) and noticed, an unsafe, Annoying flaw. MY SPRINGS KEEP FALLING OUT.
The first time this happened was when I jumped onto a curb and 180'ed off. The springs then proceeded to fall apart. I put them back in and replaced the lost screw. The 2nd time was when I jump a 5 stairs and it happened again. but a different screw came out. Put it back together and kept going until on the same day. It happened AGAIN after going down a hill, I turned and FLING went the spring. I lost another screw in a different place. I went home with a floppy truck with the parts. Went to go repair in my garage. I had a small piece that held the spring in place, Hit it against a table and I dropped it. Now, I can't find it. Look everywhere for that stupid small part but MBS doesn't even sell them. What do you guys think about getting good old, Plain skate trucks? Cause I'm tired of that crap... Can't even ride it to school, I have to use my longboard and that's only for bombing...
