SUBJECT:
FRONT SEAT TRACKS
If you encounter a customer complaint of a front seat bottom which when adjusted does not readily re-lock into the left and right tracks simultaneously,
the following procedure should remedy the condition.
1.
Loosen, but do not remove, all five (5) mounting bolts for the seat tracks. (Refer to Figure 1.)
2.
Slide the seat all the way to the rear. Make sure the lock plate pawls are completely and equally inserted into the corresponding holes in both the
inboard and outboard seat rails.
3.
Tighten bolts 1 and 2, in that order, to the required torque. (Refer to Figure 1.)
Driver's Seat
The passenger seat is reversed inner vs. outer.
4.
Slide the seat all the way to the front. Make sure the lock plate pawls are completely and equally inserted into the corresponding holes in the
inboard and outboard seat rails.
5.
Tighten bolts 3, 4 and 5, in that order, to the required torque. (Refer to Figure 1.)
6.
Make sure the seat now works properly. If it does not, then proceed onto the next procedure.
Some vehicles may require a forward adjustment of an individual rail to align the pawls. In order to do this, another washer (P/N 903100157 or
equivalent, 25.5 O.D. x 10.5 I.D. x 4 mm thick) will be required.
1.
Slide the seat forward and back until one rail does not engage properly. Determine which rail's lock plate pawls have not engaged. In most cases,
this will be the outboard rail.
