Clunking Noise From Driver Seat?

CorbinDallas · 05-23-2012, 01:47 PM

When I'm at a stop and make a turn (L or R doesn't matter) and my weight shifts I'm getting this clunking sound from the bottom of the driver seat. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from at first but it's definitely coming from the seat close to where it mounts to the floor panel. I haven't exactly examined it too closely yet but is this a common thing? Before anyone asks - yes my seat position is fully locked. You can actually feel it, I thought maybe I'd lost a socket down there or something but there's nothing rolling around.

I believe this shall help:

Anyone having a problem with their driver seat moving around with aggressive driving?

Thanks a lot for posting that! I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. Looks like some good info in there, and I'm glad I wasn't the only one with this problem. I remember my MR2 used to do this also and I hated it.

So is this issue as fixed per the bulletin supposedly taken care of for later model year cars? Mine is a 2012 and there is some slight movement. Not much, but some. Just wondering.

Mine is a 12' as well only 3 weeks old and I'm having this issue. So to answer your question, no this has not been fixed. I'm going to get lock washers and a new bar per the thread posted above.
