I've never delt with any AM/SHS issues, but I've had some trouble with
SHS wheelsets that were provided with some PRS reefers with the ASF?
trucks. The car would ride down the track with a lean. You could
straighten it, but after some running the lean would be evident again.
When I swapped out trucks, either to SHS metal trucks or the 'other'
pre-assembled PRS trucks the lean was pretty much gone. I can only
guess that the shape of conical depression on the sideframe let the
needle portion of the axle seek it's lowest point on one end of a curve
but it wouldn't reset back to normal position without my help.
