Seat creaks in a turn, help.

The drivers seat creaks when I go into a turn. As I am only 145 lbs I doubt it is me. Any ideas on how to make this go away?

One day, into a turn, I felt a bump under the seat. Investigating further, whenever my weight shift from the left to the right, the bump could be felt & heard. With it parked in the garage, I pushed on the seat in various places while sticking my hand underneath to feel where this was coming from. Turns out it was a metric bolt that was a little loose. I had to use a mirror just to see the bolt. I was tough, but I managed to tighten it. Problem solved.

You might have to resort to kneeling on the seat & rocking side to side & use your fingers to feel where the problem is. Get an assistant if you need to. You might need a telescopic mirror and a flashlight to see under the seat.
