| Post subject: | Sqeaking Drivers Seat is "Driving" Me NUTS!!! |
First off....Let me just say I am a couple miles of driving away from going insane... I have yet to get a 100% solid pinpoint on where it is coming from. It occurs while driving as a result of doing anything short of rolling on fresh asphalt (Bumps, Dips, Turns etc. even thinking about the Squeak makes it squeak). I KNOW its the drivers seat and I believe it is a result of side to side movement of the seat back...but I'm not positive. I am BEGGING for any suggestions on what to do to remedy this. Its getting to the point where I don't want to drive anymore...which is bad considering I do deliveries in my Jeep. Turning up the radio helps but it still haunts me because then I listen for it. Is there any way to take the seat back off (and possibly the bottom cushion as well so I can get a better look as what may be haunting my existence!). Thanks for the help and suggestions!!!! -Ryan |

Here's what your seat looks like under the plastic cover:
You'll need a couple of different size sockets, wrenches and a Torx for the seatbelt. Hopefully, your problem will be on the door side and you can just pop the cover off and tighten things up. You may have to remove the entire seat to get at the side next to the center console. The seat is easy enough to remove: 3 bolts, 1 nut, and one large Torx bolt for the seatbelt. Move the seat all the way back to get at the front bolts, and move it all the way forward to accress the rear bolts. It's pretty light too, so it will be easy to move around. Word of warning; when you have the seat completely unbolted, the mounting rails will move independently of each other. You won't be able to reinstall the seat if the rails are uneven. Good luck, I can post more pics if you need them. |
