Seat click fix

CBRich · 06-04-2009, 09:40 AM

Haven't noticed this problem yet as I only drive my Z on weekends, but when it arises I'll have the parts waiting. Thanks a lot.

is this something that wouldn't be covered by warranty?

I hope you do know techs at Nissan are useless right? You have a better chance of seeing the G man upstairs than to have them find an intermittent problem. I went to the dealer to look at a new 370z, grabbed the seat by the butt cushion and rocked it up and down. It already had the click. I actually had this problem on my old 350z, it drove me nuts. Thanks for whoever that supplied the fix, thanks!

Changing the bar and lock washers are a beautiful thing.

does anyone know if this will correct the seat movement problem that others are having? or is this a different problem?

There seems to be many who don't just experience a "clicking sound" but actual movement of the seat during hard cornering. This would be a serious safety issue. I wonder why it doesn't get recalled.

Anyone else try this yet? I went to Lowe's and bought the needed supplies to try this fix. Was planning on doing it tomorrow.

However, I just went out to the car and took a peek under the seat. The movement that I can replicate by tugging up and down on the seat doesn't appear to originate at the base corners or the curved silver bar. It appears to e higher in the frame of the seat.

Anyway, wondering if anyone else has tried yet, because I don't want to spend my afternoon cutting and drilling steel if I'm noy going to be any better off.

No offense to the OP intended at all. Please don't take it that way. I just want to know if others have also had success.
