528 2000 seat noise
I have a spasmodic "groaning" seat noise when I adjust the drivers seat from a forward position (wifes) to a rear (my) position. It sounds as if it might be riding on the rails, a dragging noise. I have squirted oil on everything I can get to without success and am about ready to take it to the mechanic. Before I take the last step can someone point me in the right direction so that I will not be completely helpless when I drive through the overhead doors. Thanks Leo |

Get your head down there when you're moving the seat and see if you can pinpoint where the noise is coming from. -- -Fred W |

Thet would account for the intermittant nature. I will get my head into the problem. Thanks much. Leo |
