Default Seat Creek

I just noticed this this morning. Aside from the usual rattles, I noticed that the drivers side seat creeks when you adjust your body weight and or when your turning and your body weight shifts. Its pretty loud. I tried tightening everything up... no luck. Anyone else notice this crap?

sounds like time for a trip to the stealership...unless you're over 36K-then I'd take the seat out and look for cracked or broken welds.

Sounds like a inner spring ( which has a zig zag look ) that holds the bottom seat foam. Sometimes the springs rub against the metl frame, causing a creeking sound with turns, wieght shift, any thing that would make the inner spring flex.
