Drivers seat feels a bit loose but dealership says they can't see anything wrong.

My seat started doing that "click" with a barely perceptible shift when I went around corners, so I took the 4R to the dealer to look at it a couple of weeks ago. I figured it would be a simple tightening of the bolts or something.

They told me it was because the motor had been grinding on the seat adjustment rail, and that it was an integral part of the seat that was now worn. The only fix was to replace the entire seat. Fortunately, I had an extended warranty that covered it still.

That appears to have fixed the problem, such as it was.

My passenger seat does this. You can even feel it move side to side around corners accompanied with a pop sound. Is there anyway to tighten or add a spacer to prevent this?

My driver's seat did this, I took it in (have a Toyota extended warranty) and they they replaced the whole driver's seat (invoice said $3k plus). A year later, the new seat is doing the same. Shoddy.

Click on the link to my mods in my signature. I took my rocking broken seat apart and had it welded.

Nope. I'll not messing with Photobucket. But you can download a plug-in for chrome called Photobucket hot link fix. Then all the photos will magically appear.

Had it happening on mine. Unlike you guys mine didn’t start till 290k... had some seat brackets made and bolted in some PRP Elite Series Podiums. World of difference.
