Noise from Driver's Seat

[gonetobama13]

I have a 99 Silverado with manual cloth bucket seats. Whenever I make a turn, I hear a clicking sound from my seat, sort of like metal snapping against metal, as my body shifts to the side from centrifugal force. I took it in to three Mr. Goodwrenches, once where the mechanic took the seat out, but they couldn't find the problem. The seat isn't loose in the channel. I'm almost certain it's in the seat springs butI'm not 100% certain. Before I take the seat out myself and try to figure it out, has anyone else had this problem? I've gotten good advice from this forum since I joined about a month ago and I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks.

Probably the seat frame that the bottom cushion sets on. I have seen a lot of these crack at the corners. I think they are about 50.00 not to tough to put in but definately a tedious chore.

Thanks, John. I'll check that when I take out the seat.
