My 79 T/A drivers seat "leans" towards the center of the car. I've noticed this on other T/A's as well. Anybody know how to correct this?
Thanks

Over the years I have found just using washers on the offending side will work. If it is worse than normal you might need to use a longer bolt, make sure you use equal or better rating on the bolt. A little test fitting and you are good to go.

Weird how they do that. Mine does that too. Looks like I will be trying some washer to get it back to "normal".

Yeah mine do the same thing, but I found that the drivers side frame was broken which caused the lean. I stuffed a sheet of asbestos floor tile behind the frame (to insulate the foam bun) and MIGed it back together while pushing the frame back in place (lots of cursing), and it fixed the lean. Haven't done the passenger side yet. Let me know if yours is busted too.
