seat creaking

Post by Voyager AL »

OK, on my 98 V70, the driver seat bottom creaks when i shift, and its driving me crazy. i can lift up on the seat bolster and feel a small amount of play, yet nothing visibly cracked or broken. I have tightened up all bolts, none of which were loose. Any ideas or have any of ya had this problem?

You're not the only one, mine creaks slightly around corners, but I just don't know how to fix it. Tightening the bolts helped mine somewhat, other than that, I haven't really looked around under it much.

I'm thinking it's something where the motor connects to the seat adjustments.

I'll try to take a look this weekend and see if I can see anything, and let you know, or if you figure out anything, let me know too :mrgreen:
