Try this: Fix creaking seat........

worked, but he has manual seats. Some have said that lubing their electric seats did work.......try it, can't hurt.

Any specific areas to lube? Any suggestions on an appropriate lubricant?

TIA

Refer to the link I posted above. Use of lithium grease is good! I haven't tried to oil my seat yet, but I'm sure it can't hurt. My seat creeks and cracks all the time. Very annoying.

my seat was making noise as well and leaning to one side. i took it out a couple weeks ago found that the torsion rod tube was cracked. this is what holds the seat up. i welded the tube and everything is fine now.
