Default drivers side seat rocks

Anyone know what's up with c5 driver side seats rock front to back. I've sat in several and they all seem to do it.

Are you talking about just the back which is normal since it was designed for a small movement. If the bottom rocks then the recommended fix will resolve it.

Mine has done it since I owned it (about a year - its a 98); it used to bother me but I've gotten used to it and I don't even notice it now.

I know the fix is relatively easy, but I have nerve damage and can't lift heavy stuff. Getting the seat out would be impossible for me... So, like I said, I don't even notice it anymore.

Mine is the whole seat and I have it adjusted where it doesn't do it much but I still notice it. The car only has 35k on it but the guy that drove it before was a big dude.
