granvillebarker Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 My drivers seat is pretty loose. I think it’s mostly due to being pushed accidentally by the slide on a few occasions over the years. Is there a way to fix the looseness? — Granville Barker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 On my coach there are 5 bolt that hold it down to a base that is welded to frame. You may check the 5 bolts, I'd be surprised if that is your problem but never know. Next thing to check would be where the seat attaches to the pedestal itself. I think there are 4 bolts there but I've never had to fool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerman Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 My seat was loose and I found the issue was the bolt that holds the chair to the pedestal was loose. Pick up the skirt and find the main center bolt and see if it can be tightened. Don’t overtighten or you won’t be able to swivel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upsman85 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Should be a nut under the bottom where it swivels. It has a keeper pin to keep it tight . My pin broke and nut backed off . I would check that nut and see if that is loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J A Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Should be a part # on the bearing. NAPA, Mc Master-Carr, Fastenal, among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I got it free from the installer of my new seat covers. Ex employee of Flexsteel who does installs for Lisa Bauer also ex employee of Flexsteel who bought out all the patterns for the Flexsteel captains chairs when they decided not to stay in the RV chair business. You might call Lisa as she does carry some parts. 1 (563) 542-4902 bauerrvupholstery@gmail.com Edited January 9, 2022 by Gary M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Mike Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 On my 06 i have the same problem with the co pilot chair being very loose. I dont think its made by Flex steel i think its Kustom Fit that made the seats. My base plate looks different then the one in the picture above but i will try and look for a center bolt to tighten.
