They don't! The only non-stock change I made to mine was to put a short length of heater hose over the "apply" bolt's shank to keep rattling to a minimum. I have a little preload on mine and the ride quality is completely acceptable.

Yup, I know lots of guys with Caltrac drivers. They work pretty good.

The only problem that I have seen is that some people tend to tighten the adjustment too much and have the cross bolt in contact with the spring all the time, even preloaded...... adjust properly they are OK.
