Update. Got one track done on the drivers side. One of the rubber bushings was gone/mush. The other was about half gone and mush. I wonder if the grease used turns that rubber to mush and that is the problem vs usage. Either way, I used the fix in the DIY. Whoever did that, if you're ever in Little Rock, I'll buy you a beer. Spot on. I had to make a run to the parts store to buy a shorter t-40 Torx tool, just like they said to watch out for. Mine was 1 3/4 inches long, about 1/4 too much. Measure your tool firstuh, er, and if it's longer that 1 1/2, got get you a shorter one before starting....when's the last time you heard that? Watching the Masters now, tackling the other track on the drivers side after that. Should go faster....kinda know what I'm doing now.

Done. No more rocking/sliding seat! Probably too 1 1/2 hrs first track and 30 minutes on the second one. Not too hard at all with those DIY instructions! Can't wait to go drive it now. It's had that rocking seat since I bought it 9 months ago.
