Arrow Driver's Seat Wobble?

My electric-adjustable driver's seat wobbles. The floor-bolts are tight. Anyone else have this problem? … And have successfully corrected the problem?

the electric motor/s have loosened and the gears are not flush in the track system. still will work fine but to correct unbolt seat assemble and tighten the servos down. mine has the exact same issue. be you a dollar n a donut you have a 4 door XJ.

I'm on a roll!!!

bet your also close to 6' and close to 200lbs... the shorter doors force a tall big guy into the seat with a plop (even worse with a lift, higher plop factor). after time that wears on the tack system. if not you, was the previous owner close to that descrip???
