Why is my driver’s seat wobbling when the floor bolts are cranked down?

[BillyT903]

Play in the rails or something?

Ummm.... large girlfriend?

I have just a bit of play in mine also. Just enough to notice.

 

[BillyT903]

This seems kinda excessive though. Are there bolts underneath that could have gotten loose?

Is it the whole seat or just the top half when you move it? Last mustang I had 1 of the supports broke inside the seat.

The whole seat wobble forward and backwards on acceleration and deceleration.

Try to move the seat yourself to recreate the situation. Is it possible you bent the rail?

Or the rail itself may have broken.

It has a definite stopping point though like loose bolts would.

A bolt holding the seat to the rail could be loose.

uh did you check the bolts?

 

[sneaky98gt]

Yea, there's 4 bolts holding the seat to the rails, along with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts/studs holding the rails to the floor.

Guess I gotta take the seat completely out to get to those, eh?

Yea, but if the new edge cars are the same as mine, it's VERY easy. To take mine out, I just have to remove the 2 15mm nuts in the front, and 2 15mm bolts in the back, unplug the harness and voila. Takes me less than 5 minutes.
