Default crooked seat

Was walking up to my car yesterday from the front and noticed the passenger seat is leaning towards the middle of the car. I have sport seats, anybody know why it might do this?

Had the same thing. When I pulled out all my interior I noticed the floor was pushed up on the out sides where the seats bolt down. More then likely from someone putting a jack under it. I just took my harley tool (5lbs hammer) and beat it back down level again
So pull your seats , lift the carpet up and have a look.

Don't know why it might be leaning but it's easy to check out. Just remove the seat portion, unscrew the bolts holding it in, and check out the seat frame. You can put some spacers in there to adjust.

Do you have a convertible? If so, also check the cross brace. My 88 conv was evidently jacked by the pass rear cross brace which pushed up the floor at the rt rear bolt. Had to drop the rt side of the cross brace and gronk it back into shape, then pound down the floor.
Good luck,
Charlie
