Do not wait!
Fix it now. This is not a big deal.
I decided
attack the rocking seat issue. That was easier
than I thought. I followed some of the
http://robbs.js-x.com/ken/vette1/ instruction but modified some of it
to make is a lot easier. He says to remove the plastic ball with a
screw driver. I just unbolted the #40 torque bolt at the end of the
track. I raised the seat in the rear for easier access. Also, instead
of using washers, I used an aluminum bar to create the new spacer. I
started with the passenger seat. It took 1.5 hours. The driver seat
took less than 1 hour. I can remove the seat and get the shafts out in
15 minutes.
Here are some pics. The shafts. Upper is not fixed. Below is the fixed
one.
Here is why it rocks. For an obscure reason, GM puts a soft rubber
busing around the square block. That soft rubber wears out. That
creates a slack and the seat start rocking.
This is what goes in the silver box. The square wrapped in the rubber spacer.
Here is the
new spacer:
