This is p!ssing me off so much. Every time I clutch, it sounds like my clutch is squeaking but it's just the springs in the driver's seatback as I depress the clutch pedal and push back into the seat. Every time I go over bumps, the seat also squeaks. It sounds like I'm driving a rickety old armchair.

Has anyone figured out an easy way to get inside the seat back and put some lube there? I don't want to destroy my leather in the process.

 

THAT HAPPENS to ME too it drives me NUTZZZ

yeah, I got that too, mine feels a lil loose. i hate that feeling

 

yeah mine does the same, very annoying... makes me feel like my car is a POS.

 

mine too and my gas pedal also anyone have a solution

 

OK, we've gotten a good response of people with the PROBLEM here, now is there anyone with a SOLUTION?

 

Same here...seemed like it just started in the past month or so. I'll look into it when I get a chance...my seats are prob comming out soon for carpet dying

 

the solution is stop taking $2 hookers back there at the local truck stop, get a $35 room at the local motel8, cheap a$$'$

 

i got it too! its the lumbar, at least on mine it is, i still have yet to take the seat back off and see what i can do, but yea its annoying. you can get it to go away temporarily by adjusting the lumbar. if i get bored this weekend i will do it and post.

 

ok, I finally THINK i figured out why it's squeaking... tighten the screw on the lumbar support handle... fixed my problem..

 

Oh ****, if that's true you are the MAN. 99se5spd, thanks for the tip, I did try changed the lumbar level (I need it all the way out, so that's not a permanent fix), but Maxima99SEbose, that's awesome if it fixed the problem for you. Gonna give it a try tonight!

When I started this thread, I had visions of having to peel apart the seat and oil the springs inside, LOL. Thanks to all who replied.

 

simple fix! I was bored as hell so I went for a drive and the squeaking got to me, so I finally looked at the lumbar handle (noticed it was loose) so I got a screwdriver and tightened it... seemed to do the trick... let me know if it works for you!

 

Mine loosens up all the time....i'll try mine tonight also.

 

for the first time I didn't feel envious of Max owners with leather. My "mouse fur" seats don't squeak, now you burst my bubble

 

OK, my screw was WAY loose. However, tightening it all the way didn't seem to make a huge difference in the squeaking. I haven't actually driven yet, I just got in the seat in my garage and moved around and pushed the clutch. However, now that I've tightened the screw, I can feel two distinct settings/stops. When you move the lever from no support to the first stop, it adds upper lumbar support; when you move it all the way to the second stop, it adds in lower lumbar support. I prefer just the upper support so now that the screw is tightened it stays in the first stop (before I don't think it did). Most importantly, it doesn't seem to squeak in the first stop! Woo hoo. I'll have to report back after I drive it. Thanks again, 99SEbose.

 

whoa there are upper and lower lumbar stops!? man i gotta go "screw" my max right now!
