Default Does your passenger seat back shake while driving?

When I'm driving at certain speeds my passenger seat shakes. I can see it shaking / vibrating. This is around 55mph. My steering wheel can be smooth as hell, but that damn seat is shaking. Doesn't do it at all speeds. Just around 55mph and a couple others. I just lay that biatch back all the way now..... If I had space in the house, it wouldn't be in the car. The seats are from a del sol.
Just wondering if anyone has noticed the pass. seat doing the same thing. Wheels are balanced and alignment is in check.

i've got del sols in my ek

no shakes here, from 55 mph+

never had any problems, maybe you should take the seat out and tighten the bolts on the sides that you had to loosen to swap the rails. all i can think of for now....

I was thinking that too, but i'm not 100% if he's is talking about the vertical part of the seat. i suppose checking all bolts couldn't hurt as well. something is definitely loose...

at what other speeds does it shake?

my passenger seat shakes when I've got the top off, and sometimes w/ the windows down if I'm on the highway, but I've never had anyone complain and if that is one of the many things in my car that makes noise I haven't noticed it

My gsr seat's headrest shakes sometimes at that speed.
My stock seats never made a noise.

What kind of tires do you have? Check them for "bubbling". Bubbles can be felt by running your hand across the tire, bad bubbles can actually be spotted right away.
