Default Tsb for rocking seat!!!

Does anyone know if there is a tsb for the rocking seat problem??
I am bringing my car to the dealer today and would love to be armed with the tsb number if it exists.

I don't think there is a TSB but the dealership just replaced the adjuster on mine under warranty to fix the problem.

I don't know what year you have but there is no TSB for the '08.

Easy fix, just run the seat all the way back and no more rocking. Long legs required.

When you say adjuster do you mean the whole bottom seat track???

All C5 cars have this problem. You would think GM would have fixed this in the C6 cars. Here is a link on how to fix it in a 1997-2004 car. http://www.lieblweb.com/TechLinks/Co.../C5SeatFix.htm

A cheap rubber bushing wears out and causes the rocking.

The paperwork calls it the driver's seat adjuster.
Part number 88898559
Description - Adjuster 11.561
My car is a 2007
I think it is probably the whole bottom seat track but I haven't looked that close yet.

I had this problem in my 2005 pretty bad. I hope my 2009 doesn't develop it.

I have a 20098 and it has beedn doing the rocking thing since day 1. I keep playing around with seat adjustments, seems worse when more of your weight is to the rear
such as seat bottom tilted back. I would love to get it fixed! My dealer claims that he hashenever heard anyone else mention the problem before, oh wait, he says that about everything, including my slow speed clunking end links and how the gas cap seems to loosen itself up, "I have never heard of that one before" is the only response he ever has.
Don't get me wrong, my 09 has few problems and minor ones at that. When the headliner tore on the vert roof @ 1000 miles he said the same thing, I had to go in there armed with the TSB printed off to get it fixed. Thanks to this forum!
