Hi.
Do someone know the best way to fix a rocking passenger seat without removing the it from the car. It's only way I know.

The problem is I'm not sure to be able to do it with a hand and a half.
Is there an easier way to fix the seat without removing it from the car?
Any help would be really appreciate.
Thank you.

Rocking seats....again!
Re: Rocking seats....again!
I did this mod a few weeks ago and it isn't so bad. Only real PIA was that the new bushes I got form Whalen needed to be sanded down so they would fit. After that all you have to do is make sure you put the screws back in the side they came from and that the rails are equal.Cloz wrote:Hi.

Depends if you are the only driver or there are multiple drivers of the car. Mine does it on both seat slightly, and on the passenger one i simply push the seat back as far as it will go until it feels like its got nowhere to go. This solves the problem, as it stays in the foward rocking position all the time. Problem on drivers side is my wife also drives the car, and cant reach the pedals if its pushed far back (neither can i actually!)
Other than that, i think its a question of taking the seat out, but it looks far too complicated for me to do.

Taking the seat out and replacing the bushings is the only proper way to fix the problem.
By the way; the reason that I make the bushings overly thick is because they must fit snugly between the carrier and the adjusting nut.
Since the bushing carriers and adjusting nuts are cast parts, they will not be the same exact size from one seat to the next; the only way to ensure that the bushes fit properly is to sand the thickness at the time of installation.
That's my opinion, anyway; others may disagree.

It wasn't a complaint, just an observation. Your bushes are the only decent fix for this issue, so thanks for making them!DougW. wrote:Taking the seat out and replacing the bushings is the only proper way to fix the problem.
