I don’t have one of these but do have an older FEF, Challenger, and Big Boy with similar tenders. Take a look at the 5 axle fixed truck. The leading and trailing axles have shouldered axle bushings. The three middle axles should have bushings without shoulders to allow more side to side play. I have found at least one of these tenders to have shoulders on all the bushing and had to machine them off.
No idea if this is the issue here but worth a look.

Like Pete said check the centipede truck and make sure the center 3 wheels/axles have side to side play. I have a Premier UP FEF and a Premier DM&IR Yellowstone which use the same tender chassis, and neither have any issues through 072 curves or Ross 072 switches in forward reverse at any speed.
