David, I have a couple of the SSLS 6-wheel passenger trucks that I acquired and assembled years ago that run flawlessly. They were assembled without modification and run just fine. The original Bakelite bolster has not been a problem for me. I wouldn't try looser springs because I think the reason that they run so smoothly is the nice spring action and the way the trucks are equalized. I would recommend that you check the gauge on the older wheel sets (or replace them) as standards have changed since Claude originally offered these trucks way back in the 70's.
