My rear passenger side seat squeaks when going over bumps. Dealer lubed it up and it went away for about a month, but now the squeak is back! Where do I lube it up?
Where do I put the lube?

Not 100% sure if this will fix ur problem but ur seats might be a tad bit loose. I had to tighten seats on a few of the 5th gen runners. Try to move one of the seats back and forth to see if it squeaks or wobbles. If it feels loose then take it back to the dealership and have them tighten down all the bolts. Im wondering where or what they lubed the first time because i cant think of where you can lube a seat. haha

Do I lube between the crack?
Fold the seat down and take a look where the latches are (should be metal to metal contact).
Should be two to four spots. (One on the side panel of the vehicle which helps the seat recline or sit up straight, and two spots below the seat itself. You will have to pull the tab so the bottom portion of the seat folds forward.)
Grease or WD40 on those parts and you should be good to go. Apply a bit more than you usually would. I did this about 1.5 years ago and I haven't had the sound come back.

Found a quick picture online. It's the wrong side, but it will give you an idea where to look.
Oh by the way, sorry to be Buzz Killington....

When I read the title and then I saw this below, I thought I was surely in for a treat. But upon opening this thread, I am disappointed
HAHA!! I thought EXACTLY the same thing.
Shame on you Stiffy...(Wait...was that a lube pun? Why, I think it was. It was a lube pun.):brick:

Not sure if this is a question or an answer, but if you're still looking for where the squeak is coming from, I found that on mine it's coming from the pivot point between the 60/40 split. I just fold the passenger seat back down and spray some all purpose teflon fortified penetrating spray at that joint, and the squeak seems to have been resolved.
I will try that thanks.
