$15? Damn! Usually the seat tracks go for $100 on eBay! The metal eventually fatigues on all the power seat tracks, they're not designed for us big guys.

Both sides are identical, I believe. However, I don't know of any 'Stang that came with a power seat on the passenger side. Manual seat tracks should be identical on both sides.

That seems to be a problem with the SN-95's and the Fox's my buddy has had three cars do that 2 fox's and a 94gt. I used to own a 93 and never had the problem and I've had my 95 cobra for a long time and have still never had this problem.

same thing happened to me, had it welded and it broke again. So i just bought a manual seat track instead. I don't need the power, i never move the seat.

I keep hearing that the tracks are interchangeable but when I tried puttin my passenger seat on the drivers side as a temp fix it wouldn't bolt up right.
