I have searched all through the forums here and can’t really find just what I’m looking for.
My drivers seat for a couple years now off and on (mostly on nowadays) will make a squeak noise (sounds like a cricket) when driving. Makes me crazy on a quiet morning drive sipping my coffee!
I have at least figured out it has something to do with the seat backing. I can lean forward with only weight in the bottom and it immediately stops. Plus I used to be able to temporarily make it stop by adjusting the seat motors to one extreme or the other and then “restore“ to my profile position. Maybe it added tension or added a small preload to the point of the squeak, not sure, but even that doesn’t work anymore.
has any seen this and been able to find the source?
BTW I have crawled under and sprayed a dab of foaming lubricant in every joint under seat I can get to but obviously have not gotten the correct one.
long shot but maybe someone will have seen this before.
