Default Seats, sliding - rocking. Same issue or two different issues?

I've noticed my seats are sliding, but I've also seen some complain about rocking. Are these two separate issues/repairs?

I'd like to pull the seats out and fix everything at once.

Here's what I have on rocking:

Sliding?

Thanks!!

I think it is the same issue. The first thing I fixed on my '98 when I purchased it last fall. There are some good videos out there on the interweb to instruct you.

Different issues on mine. Sliding front to back is because of the worn out plastic washers as shown from link.

Mine rock because one of the support brackets are broken. Haven't had the time to replace it yet. Someone makes a replacement... sure it's listed somewhere here.
