Squeaky seat

my seat creaks pretty loudly when i move around... if i remove the back of the seat, am i going to damage anything by spraying some wd-40 on the springs? Is there a better way? Is there something anyone would recommend other than wd-40, perhaps something that smells less?

Thanks!

Is it the actual seat or the seat brackets?

In the garage I believe there is a thread on how to fix *known* squeaky/rattling seats. But I'm pretty sure the fix was the mount point on the floor. Not the seat itself...

There was a TSB-- TSB 08-004: Driver's Seat Cushion Rocks or Is Loose.
As the prior poster mentioned, the problem was the seat track mounting and not the seat itself.
