For a change, it was neither. SOBill had a small mod of adding a light coil 
spring between each new roller and the track to slightly increase friction and 
keep the rollers from unrestrained movement. Remember, if your floor is bent a 
little, the seat tracks will also be bent and adjustment will be difficult. 
If you have stock seat rollers, these have rubber linings that dent, making 
flat spots which keep them from rolling at all. Plastic or all metal aftermarket 
work fine. Good luck- J DeRyke
