Why are these cars jostling???

I checked the track before gluing it down and I don’t remember the cars jostling like this. I purposely did not glue the turnouts. Anyone have ideas why the cars are jostling and any solutions?

    Ben, try widen the gap between the rail and the railguard.

    Thanks to Shamoo737 I’ve figured out the problem. Seems the AZL Coalporters shown are an early release which has a narrow wheelset. I’ll see about getting the NZL gauage and see if I can adjust them….or I’ll get MTL trucks and replace the wheelset with metal.

    To be continued….
