The dreaded seat rocking
OK, so I used to think it could never happen to me as my drivers seat has always been rock solid. Well, just noticed going to the gas station the other day, it's got the rock in it now. What is the fix for that? Is there a kit you can order or some parts you can buy to fix this? Very annoying!!!

Yep...welcome to the club. Plenty of how to threads if you search...not a hard fix, but takes a little time...

In the meantime you can put seat all the way back (push back with your feet while using control) and it will stay back, mine has been like that for years. It only loosens back up every once in a while.

I bought a set of the nylon spaces from the Radioflyer also. Haven't had to use them yet, but the price was good and I have them just in case.

Bingo. Here is a kit for the fix from C & S. Thanks!

Besides the problem with the shims, there is also the possibility of 1 or 2 flanges at the rear of the seat track being bent or broken.
This video explains in a very detailed way the replacement process of both, shims and flanges.

I had the rock in my Z but never got around to it. In this car, the ’rock’ feels more like a clunk, but I’m going to address it this time, because it now annoys me.
