Also, you could do a search there for the leaning seat problem. I do remember someone saying something about replacing a plastic bushing and where to get one that will work. And there are other reasons, like bent or cracked metal sometimes.
Does he have a web site or phone #? I registered for that site but have to be approved and been waiting a day and a half already.

Don't remember it being too bad, but it's been close to twenty years since I did it.
I do remember it's easy to get the springs/wires too tight and the bottoms will be too firm.
Thanks if I cant buy then I will go that route.
