A guide system for translating components of an aircraft engine nacelle includes a track assembly (106) and a slider assembly (150). The track assembly includes a track guide member (108) and a track liner (112) engaged therewith. The track guide member includes a track channel (109) configured to receive the track liner. The track liner defines an interior surface and includes a projection portion (120) projecting inwardly of the track channel to define a convex surface. The slider assembly translatably engages the track assembly and includes a slider member having a head portion (154) configured to be received within the track channel. The head portion defines a concave surface substantially corresponding to the convex surface of the track liner and is configured to mate therewith. The slider member further includes an extension portion (156) extending from the head portion and outwardly of the track assembly.
