SUBJECT: BENCH TYPE SEAT ADJUSTER BINDING


MODELS AFFECTED: 1984-88 CENTURYS WITH BENCH FRONT SEATS


A binding condition on two way manual seat adjuster used on bench type seats may be corrected in some cases by use of the following procedure:

1. Move seat to full forward position, loosen rear adjuster to floor pan attachments.

2. From drivers position, move seat to full rearward position, then forward far enough to access rear attachments. Torque rear attachments to 20-28 N-m. Cycle seat forward and back several times to confirm binding is corrected.

3. If above steps do not stop binding, loosen rear attachments and force rear of adjuster outboard and torque to 20-28 N-m. From drivers position cycle to confirm binding is corrected.

The above procedure should be performed before adjusters are replaced, and on new adjusters to ensure the new adjusters are tracking parallel.
