Default Loose seat back

My driver's side seat back seems to move sideways (left/right). Is there a way to remove the play? It is quite obvious when making turns, otherwise not noticeable. Thanks!

Just taking a stab at it but maybe some bolts are loose?

Thanks! I'm not sure if there are any bolts connecting the back to the lower portion of the seat? I'll have to look more carefully. I thought the entire seat is one piece that is bolted to the car floor but I could be wrong.

Anyone with a helms? I'm not even sure if the service manual will cover this.

The seat back is attached to the "Recline Adjuster" by 2 bolts (35 ft/lbs). The "Recline Adjuster" is attached to the outer seat track by 2 bolts (35 ft/lbs). This "adjuster" is covered by ......... you guessed it - the "Recline Cover". On the inner side, the side back is attached witha "Pivot Nut" (16 ft/lbs).
Begin your quest in these locations.
Are your seat track securely fastened to the floor?

Nothing wrong with checking the nuts... It's good preventive medicine

I understand they get looser as you get older.
