Default Drivers seat

My driver seat on my 2001 Cherokee getting "feeble" Feels like it is twisting to one side and will recline but not move all the way vertical. Are these seat frames repairable or should I find a replacement? If replace, what are the better ones?
Thanks

If it's not an emergency situation, I'd go to the junk yard. It could take several visits and some patience. I found a complete set of seats (and I wasn't really looking for seats that day) in excellent condition at the bone yard - for very little money.

Take the seat out and have a look at the mechanism. Its only four bolts and the electrical clip to remove.
