My seat rocks foreward and back a bit, I noticed the large threaded shaft that turns to move the seat foreward and back wiggles a bit if I push on it with my finger... If the seat is moved all the way back this problem does not happen and the shaft does not move at all... Does anyone have a diagram for the seats?

I have already replaced the bushings on the sliders...

Front seats[/align]Removing and installing seat side panel (memory seat, electric seat) on sill side[/align]










â—†Removing [/ul]

‒→ Unscrew bolt -2-.
‒Remove the lower trim carefully -1- and detach the lower trim from the front and rear upper brackets. [/ul]












‒→ Unplug connector -2- from the trim -1-.
‒Detach seat connector -3-. [/ul]

â—†Installing [/ul]

‒On installing the plugs -3-, ensure that the two guides on the plugs face the inside of the seat.
‒Installation is in reverse order. [/ul]

 

I appreciate it, if you could upload some more... I need to find out how the threaded shaft (on the left of image #2) mounts to the seat and how that mounts to the vehicle...

I may just end up removing the front two bolts and laying the seat on its back to find it all...

In red I have labeled some items...
The red "1" shows the plastic piece I take off to access the front of the threaded shaft...
The red "2" is the tip of the shaft, I can move that shaft in a circle, up and down, left and right...
The red "3" I am curious about... I think this may play a part in my problem, what is it?

too late now im for the bed but ill post as much info as I can tomorrow

 

No 3 is a lock/guide for the shaft and lifts the seat so if it is loose then its more than likely your problem, a broken weld perhaps?

 

The seat seems to rock back and forth... But I do recall reading that a guy had a broken weld somewhere on the seatand had to re-weld it...
I dont have a problem with it lifting the seat that I can tell, only moving it foreward and back... hmmm...
