If you'll look at what is replaced with the rocking seat fix, you'll see that it really fixes a sliding seat. The rubber bushings on either side of the lead screw nuts deteriorates or wears and allows the seat to slide forwards and rearwards and the fix is to replace with nylon washers.

I forget what I did, but I tightened the front height mounting.
