Default Is there a TSB for the drivers seat "shifting"?

Whenever I turn under speed, I can feel my seat shift under me. Is there a TSB for this problem? I thought I read somewhere that there was one.

Thanks.

I thought it was just me because I'm a pretty big guy...
Driver's side seat not only shifted a little, but right side bolster also broke/collapsed when I tracked the car. I ended up replacing with Sparco EVOs for the track...

Mine was clicking. Took it to my local dealer and they tightened the seat. So far so good.

I have that same issue, I thought I was crazy. Does anyone have the full TSB? I would like to fix it myself versus going to the dealer.

I'd like to know what the fix is too. Mine shifts and it's somewhat annoying. However, there's no way I'm taking it to the dealer for something so trivial. I learned my lesson on that... incompetent, inbred, morons... sorry about that.

There was a thread some time ago that addressed a "real" fix vs. the dealer fix that people have had problems with. It was a year+ ago, so it might be hard to find, but I know it had to do with inserting a cotter pin at the end of a piece that was coming loose.

I might give it a shot this weekend. Mine just feels like it isn't solid when I make real hard turns.
