Shimming the Inner Seat Track

1. Move the seat to the rearmost position.

2. Check under the seat to confirm that both seat track latches are engaged. If the seat track latches do not engage, sit in the seat and slide back and forth until the latches engage in the rearmost position.

NOTE:
Do not move the seat from this position or use the walk-in or recline levers until this procedure is completed.

3. Remove the front mounting bolt from the inner seat track. Loosen the other three seat track mounting bolts several turns.





4. Move the seat back and forth and side to side until you see a gap between the front of the inner seat track and its mounting boss.

5. Tighten the outer seat track's front mounting bolt, then tighten the inner seat track's rear mounting bolt.





6. Use a caliper to measure the distance from the face of the inner seat track to the mounting boss.

7. Subtract 2.5 mm from your measurement to allow for the thickness of the inner seat track. Then select the proper size suspension alignment shim or shims (commercially available from most auto parts stores) to take up the measured gap. Do not exceed 5 mm.

NOTE:
Suspension alignment shim thickness is normally measured in fractions of an inch. Use this table to select the proper thickness.

Calculated clearance Shim thickness

1.5 - 1.9 mm 1/16 in.
2.0 - 2.5 mm 3/32 in.
2.6 - 3.3 mm 1/8 in.
3.4 - 4.2 mm 5/32 in.
4.3 - 5.0 mm 3/16 in.

8. Install the 10 x 25 mm washer-bolt (see PARTS INFORMATION) in the inner seat track front mounting hole. Thread the bolt in only two or three turns.





9. Place the selected shim(s) over the bolt, between the inner seat track and the mounting boss.

10. Torque the four seat track mounting bolts to 34 N.m (25 lb-ft).

11. Check the seat for proper operation. Make sure it slides smoothly and releases easily.

12. Reinstall the seat track end covers.
