Seat is Groaning

Hi all;

Today, I was in a parking lot and maneuvering around at low speed.

While doing this, I noticed that the drivers seat make a groaning sound as the car moves over the gentle bumps of the parking lot.

On the highway at 70mph, the seat is absolutely silent.

I would imagine that there is a type of seating chaise to hold the seat in place? Is that right? Does it need to be lubricated? Am I the only now with this problem?

My thanks to all of the good folks here who answer my inane questions.

Have the same issue, although it is random. Comes and goes.
