Default 1st Gen Rocking Chairs?

I have noticed this to varying degrees in 1st Gens, and I think its starting in my 96. This weekend, I noticed that if I push the seat back of my car, the chair will rock by about a half inch! this really makes your car seem old, does any one else have this prob, and how do you fix it?

6'4", 190-195lbs, hardly classifies as BIG, (well, not east to west!!) but I sit with my seats reclined kinda far (I like to sit kinda low) so that may put extra stress on the SEATBACK portion!

BTW the 1st GenGS has the MOST legroom of any Lexus I have sat in (both ES's, both GSs, 2nd Gen LS, and RX too!!)

That can be caused by rear seat passengers using the front seat to get up, By pulling on the front seat with their weight causing the seat to have play in it. Kids usually do this.

in my case, I think its due to the "gangsta lean"!!! I like to sit low in the car, so I push the seat back pretty far back!
