does anyone know if this will correct the seat movement problem that others are having? or is this a different problem?

There seems to be many who don't just experience a "clicking sound" but actual movement of the seat during hard cornering. This would be a serious safety issue. I wonder why it doesn't get recalled.

So does the looseness of the seat stem from the lack of lock washers? I'm still not sure which bar to replace with the flat bar. Is it the bar that us "U-shaped"? I noticed that the passenger seat has the same bar and also has no lock washers.....

I have no noise from my passenger seat......but I usually never have anyone in the Z with me. Weight shift in the driver seat causes this once the car has been driven for a while. I first noticed the click after 800 miles on the car. Yes, bent on the ends, runs along the floor until it bends up at an S to the 10mm bolt connection. Road vibration that is felt due to the stiff suspension will cause the bolts to become loose enough to move with body weight shifting left to right in the seat. Lock washers will prevent this from occuring.

Try just the lock washers without replacing the bar. Although I'm pretty sure the bar is the main reason this issue is fixed.

There is also a TSB out now if you want to take it to the dealer.
