Wobbly Front seat?

Question

The passenger seat in our 12 year old Class A has become noticeably Wobbly! It hasn't been used much as my wife rides in a seat belted recliner. The seat rotates, reclines and move fore and aft fine but rocks side to side.  I think it is a flex -steel model that sits on a round column. The pedestal isn't moving. Its the plate that rotates on top of the pedestal that moves. I don't see any obvious bolts loose or adjustments. How do I tighten it up?

can't  you add washers to tighten it up?

Many "swivel-able" seats have a nut in the center (under the seat) that sets the clearance for the bearing plate.  So, may be able to tighten just a little to remove play.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be the race bearing, be tween the seat and pedestal/Tighten the bolt first, if not that check the bearing.Chuck

you may have a 15/16 nut in the center. If you remove that, there is a convex washer and that should be mounted with the raised portion UP- then reinstall nut and tighten till you feel a little resistance when you rotate the chair
