If the passenger seat is ok, then it sounds like something's out of whack underneath. I bet it's in the area where the seat back attaches.

Does the seat bottom feel like it's crooked compared to the passenger side? If not, you probably just need to pull out the seats and compare everything to see if one is loose or missing a bolt. It may be bent somewhere. There's really no way to tell without pulling them out.

If you do it, the front rail covers only have one screw in them. You need an inverted torx socket for the seat bolts. I believe 10mm, but don't quote me on that unless someone else can confirm it. The electrical connections have slide clamps you can feel and the seat just comes right out.

deliriousga, The seat slides and feels like the passenger seat. I'll take a look at the back and as soon as I can get a inverted torx socket set I'll let you know what I find. Thanks.

If the seatback alone is bent and not the seat bottom cushion, raising one side is gonna feel weird.

I never thought of that. Sorry for any misleading advice!

I am scratching my head thought as to why you have this problem in the first place. Someone very heavy may have thrown themselves into the driver's seat and bent the backrest.

My wife can answer this question. She is a tall woman so she puts the seat all the way back then tries to get the "gangsta lean" going to keep from hitting her hair on the roof. The seatback gets about 3/4 back and it hits the firewall and shoves the base of the seat forward. I'm sure this stresses the seatback joint heavily.
