Default Seat wobbling....*searched*

I have an 03 ex coupe,my problem is that my drivers seat wobbles in hard cornering.I checked the 4 bolts that hold the seat down and they are tight. No matter where I slide my seat to it wobbles.I'm not able to wobble the seat unless i'm sitting in it,so I cant wobble it with my hands and look under to see what it is.I never noticed when my car was stock, but ever sense I dropped it and put a rear progress sway bar on, you can really feal it,at first barely at all to worse and worse.I plan on getting EP3 seats in the future, but I just want to fix this problem because it can not be safe.

p.s.Happy Holloween, dont drink and drive. ......just drink.

Its the bushings in the seat rails. Its a known issue, find the TSB on it.

This has been covered before, but I couldn't locate the Technical Service Bulletin on the forums, so I did the research for you.

Would this be a warranty fix? I'm having the same problem.

they'll fix it if you're not in warranty, it's a TSB, it's seperate from warranty... (correct me if i'm wrong.)

Yes. Its not a required fix. Just a nuisance repair.

I did this recently, it was a rather expensive fix for such a small item ($50.00). What I found out though is it is the rear bushings that go bad. If you just replace them and reuse the hardware it is cheap repair. Just remember to lubricate with a lithium grease.

Lithium or any wheel grease. No need to go over board on the lubrication.
