1950's wood windows

I have a 1950's house with the original wood windows and exterior storms. They were sanded, painted and reglazed when I bought the house a few years ago and they looked and worked fine. However, now I've noticed that the sides of the windows, are not holding the sashes tightly in place. The window sash is wood but the side where they fit into the window frame is aluminum and has springs to hold the sash tight. Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I headed for new windows. I'm not ready for that so I'm hoping I can fix these. I've noticed some of the sides are tight tight, like stuck in place tight, and I'm having trouble straightening the sash to get it in place so they close properly. Any suggestions?
