Junk yard run
One of the local junkyards got an 08 in this week, so I thought I’d go down there and see what I can scavenge.
I needed a driver side seat track as mine is lose probably from the neck braking acceleration of the 6sp. Lol.
The car there was an auto so I figured the track should be solid and if not I wasted $19.
Picked up some other small pieces while there. Mainly the cup holder assembly. Seems like a lot of people ask about the sliding part and since this wasn’t broken, I bought it.
I was also hoping to snag the mirrors since they have the true signals on them but the housings were cracked. The passenger mirror wasn’t brown at all and mine is a little so I grabbed it.
The oem wheels had rash on them so I didn’t want to spend $100 on them. Maybe I’ll go back, not sure.

Really? The seat itself was already unbolted from the car so I couldn't sit on it to see if it rocked. I just took it apart from the seat back. Oh well, the type s has more giddy up, hopefully this one doesn't rock. I'd hate to go through the work to swap it out for nothing. Lol

its a typcial failure for all 3g TL, there plenty of thread guys that has these seat replaced under initial 4 years/50,000 miles warranty. Its the plastic bushing that goes bad over time and cause the seat to rock about 1/8 inch unfortunately there are no way to get around this unless you replaced the whole seat rack.
