Front seats not straight....help

Postby Johnny Mignelli » 06 Jun 2013 2:38

I need help, my front seats looking from the front or back of the car are leaning towards the center console....not straight. The seat covers were redone a long time ago, can it be the seat frames are mixed??
I had to put washers to straighten the seat but still not perfect.....
Anybody seen or have this problem???

I don't think it's the floor, these seats come from my first Challenger and where not straight back then, thinking it was the floor??? When I installed them on my 2nd car, same thing??? And the seats I removed from the 2nd car were straight.....Could it be when they re-did my seat covers back in 1988, maybe they mixed the lower seat frame from left to right.....also sitting on them I'm on a angle

Welcome to the board Johnny :D
It is possible the frames are mixed up, if you look at the floor pan from underneath the car you can see the bracing for the seat fixings and how the floor is shaped. I got a feeling that the fixings against the trans tunnel are higher but I could be wrong :oops:
