Sport Seat "Wobble"

Post by Craigger »

Good Day,

under braking or acceleration, there is now enough play in the seat base to make me want to tackle a job (or fail at tackling it and send it out.

I believe most of the play is in the linkage for the Seat height adjustment, mostly in the front.

A Video to try and explain it best.

Is there any guides or tips one can provide? Anything to avoid or prepare for?

Looks to be excessive play in the bushings. Pulling the seat and sourcing some bushings to fit may be a problem.
Last resort, swap to the less used less worn passenger seat, they are swappable.
