how to move an assembly along a non-straight path?

I have a carriage that needs to move along a bumpy rail. A slider joint will not work, as it will not follow the path. If I add a contact set, the carriage will simply stop when the rail deviates from linear. Is there any method to make it happen? The model is here: https://a360.co/2DC7zb4

Hi @AagAag  i think you can not get such motion in joint but to solve your problem you can use animation to move your component on curve or non straight path.i hope this will help you
