I haves 97 TJ with seats that are in very good shape however they all have a lot of play and are annoyingly unstable and loud from shaking when there are not any passengers. Mostly front to back play. Does anyone have advice on how to remedy this without buying all new seats and/or brackets?
 
Well I ordered the stableseat 2 weeks ago and it finally came in today. Passenger seat went on fine and it stabilized the lower seat portion well. The back still has some play. But i go to the driver seat and it doesn’t even have the same brackets and is completely different underneath, yet they are the same seats and they function the exact same way. My driver seat has about 3” of left to right play and front to back.

Little difficult to stabilize this. Rear bracket/bold connection is completely rusted though. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this short of replacing the entire thing. Also, how dafuq is my driver side seat THAT rusted!?. 387BF6BC-4702-45A8-A3C3-EF3B2F57A432.jpeg23959A79-AF93-4F5F-AC1A-92D4EA5B4FB4.jpeg
 
Its a '97.... thats old. Might have had a 300# driver once.

But parts should be as close as the nearest autowrecker. The '04, '05, '06 were different, they lowered the seats those years for better/safer airbag performance but they all just bolt in.

AND the only affordable solution is replace the whole thing,,,,, there might be aftermarket new parts too,
try BestTop.

Parts or the entire seat?
 
I tried the 3D printed plastic things that replace the worn or missing factory ones, and they still left backlash in the seat, then kept falling out. Threw them away, waste of money.
