Seats creaking - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It is the reclining joint, try lubing it.

So....without being rude about it, are you a big dude? how much do you weigh?

jacjac3 · 12-04-2013, 01:08 AM

Anyone find the root cause?

BentAnat · 03-03-2014, 01:19 AM

I am having this exact issue. @Wes, did you manage to find it? I have not tried any of the solutions yet, save for checking that the seat is locked. My next step is the reclining joint, since that makes most LOGICAL sense for me.

my drive side seat squeeks when i move when it is all the way back. i moved it forward one click, and it has stayed quiet.

however, the rattles in the rear...... drive me fucking nuts

HunterGreene · 03-03-2014, 08:59 AM

Yeah, I've noticed this as well. Only annoying until I turn the radio up. If it gets louder, Ill do something about it.

It might be a spring "in" the seat, if that is the case, you might have to take the seat out to get to it OR inject the lubricant (hot soapy water may be better) through the seat .....

Yeah I solved the issue, anyone having this issue, just spray WD40 on the rails and it'll go away.

And no I'm only 160 so not really heavy, but at that time I was 145 when the seats started creaking.

BentAnat · 03-04-2014, 02:23 AM

Awesome! Gonna do that tonight. Thanks a mill. It was driving me a bit nuts.

Spray the seat rails, it's the thing that's right under the seat where the seats slide on when you pull the lever to adjust back and forth. Try and get where the seats slides which is kinda like on the sides of the rail I believe? ( can't remember) use a wd40 with like a long tube so u can reach w.o getting it everywhere

I tried spraying WD40 all over the rails but didn't help.

Send my car to the dealer and they took the whole chair apart and regrease every joint. No more sound. yay!
