Seat Rocking

My passenger seat is feeling loose and rocks forward and back from the front right corner. The bracket at the height adjustment seems loose, but I tried tightening the allen bolt with no effect. Does anyone have a solution to this issue? Thanks.

There are bushings that wear out within that pivot point. They can be purchased from dealer, comes with new bolt, bushing, lube

Thanks. I wonder could you find it on a parts diagram online like at genuinemercedesparts.com?

The ones I have replaced numerous times that fail are the bolts that also mount the WSS sensors. If that is in fact where you have play then this is the part.

That’s the bolt. Nearly $200?? There must be a cheaper fix for that little bushing...

Electrical tape. Enough wraps to shim it well.

That's been the method used on some folk's cars. I've yet to experience the problem so can't say first hand.

Thats the proper fix.
You could do the wrap in tape thing if that appeals to you. It's kind of shade tree but it works
