Default Front seats move

So I’ve got an lr3 where the the front driver seat seems to rock when driving. When I accelerate it shifts. Should I replace the rails or any other ideas?

Same here very slight but to the point of being annoying...
Is the issue the rails? Has anyone looked at the issue?

That’s what I’ve been told but wanted to see if anyone else has issue and the fix. Are rails pretty easy to install?

No need to replace anything, it’s an easy fix. I’d forgotten how annoying that was....

There is a cable that inserts into the motor that drives the seat forward and rearward. It’s easy to access from behind the seat. There will be a thick, black, flexible cable with housing that slides out when you pull it towards the driver’s door. With pliers, give the end of square cable several turns (I recall 15 half turns, but you’ll be able to find it on Google if you look). Plug it back in, make sure that it’s all the way in.
What you’re doing is clocking one rail opposite the other to take out the slack.
Free fix and only three minutes at most.....quite rare!
