So tonight I went out to drive my car. As I sat in the seat, the whole thing rocked back. I don't mean the seat back reclined, the whole seat reclined, like the front of the seat wasn't bolted down. The sliders are still attached to the rails, and the rear of the seat is still attached to the sliders, but the front of the seat seems like it's missing a bolt. It was too dark to look underneath and I didn't have a flashlight so I'm not really sure what came loose. looking from the side there is a bracket around the middle of the seat that stops the seat from swinging so far back that it hits the back seat, but I can still co really far back. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you could tell me how to fix it. I can't imagine that it's much more than a loose or broken bolt, but any info you could give me before I go out to fix it tomorrow would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

edit: wtf, somehow i ended up in 4.6 tech from 5.0? sorry that was for a 5.0 post if it makes no sense

there is only 4 bolts that hold the frame to the floor. move the seat back as far as you can, then you will see the two front bolts going into the floor.

if those aren't loose or missing, you should take off the other two rear bracket bolts, and flip the seat upside down to check the bolts holding the frame to the seat.

its a simple setup
