Do any of you find that rolling stock with plastic trucks tend to sit unevenly? I have a bunch of Weaver and Petersen Supply cars that do this. I have placed washers where truck screws to chassis but it still happens. The plastic trucks are just not supported and are "wobbly" for lack of a better word. I know I can buy metal trucks but I use Kadees and the plastic are so much easier for conversion. Any ideas?  Thanks

I'm not familiar with those particular cars, but I sometimes find it necessary to adjust the car frame or truck frame mounting surfaces (file flat, etc), to make the car ride more level and without wobbling.  I often replace the original truck mounting hardware with machine screws and Nylock nuts that can be adjusted to just the right snugness that still allows the trucks to pivot freely.
