help with clicking noise under driver seat

when i am coming to a stop and the car rocks back, i can hear and feel a slight clicking noise under my back right pocket. it feels like something is just slipping ever so slightly, but it's driving me nuts. any idea what that might be and if it's a diy fix?

Does it sound like a squeak or a creak? There was a thread just done about this. Sounds like a bad spring or something. Mine makes the sound when I lean against the driver's seat right side seat bolster (for my back, not my butt). I dunno how to fix it yet since I didn't bring mine in to the dealership.

My passenger seat does the same. I took it to the dealer, the dealer said one of my seat brackets was broken. I asked them to replace it for me already though the part hasn't arrived yet. I will surely let you guys know if it solves the problem once the bracket is replaced.

happened to me on my passenger's seat with the clicking sound too! always had the annoying clicking sound whenever i brake/accelerate. i brought it to the dealer and they said something break at the back area so they will have to take the whole seat out to check. got it fix for free. so you should try it at your dealer. good luck!
