Creaky Driver's Seat 2012 e350

Hi all,


Anybody experience this issue at all? Seems like at turns and acceleration , or braking there is a creaking coming from the driver's seat. If you adjust the seat into different positions , it tends to help a bit, however it often returns. Any clues or ideas as to how to rectify it?


Kind regards!

I’ve noticed on my 550 the seat belt buckle makes creaking noises when connected. The noise goes away if I pull the buckle back towards the rear of the seat. My plan is to somehow secure it further back with a little strap or something along those lines.

I think I've kind of pinpointed it to the seatbelt connection area, the noise is replicated when you tilt just the bottom part of the seat up and down. Going to try some grease if I can get in there, or pinpoint it a bit better. Could be just some dry bolts?

For me it was LI91.10-P-049894 noise or play at seat adjuster. When braking or accelerating, you can hear a click sound.

Solved!, it was this bolt that needed a spot of wd40. I hit a couple other locations in trial and error. But this was the culprit. Will keep an eye on it from now on.

This would be if you're looking under the seat from the front on left hand side.
