Rocking Driver Seat
There are a couple threads out there about this issue (a little play in the seats) but they're quite old. Solution at the time was replacing the seat tracks.
Wanted to check to see if since then anyone has been able to fix the "broken" seats without having to replace the tracks.
Thanks in advance.

imho the right approach is to determine where the movement is. It can be the case that the tracks are not fully secured to the body. If the play is between the tracks and the seat, I would make one attempt to reshape, knowing fully well that I might be needing new tracks. I would certainly place a spacer to prevent over-distortion and use vice instead of dead blows.

If you can, actually see the movement/play by applying force. Once you know which two surfaces have the play, you can devise a solution. Without this, your attempt(s) can end up with no change.
