Default Squeak Passenger Seat KK

Hello just looking for some help on this one.

Everytime I have a passenger (no matter how big or small) it squeaks loudly whenever I go over any bump!! Its driving me nuts!! This is only for the passenger seat.

I checked the Lostjk forums and someone else experienced the same issue...their fix was to tighten the bolts holding the seat to the frame (they were loose).
However this is not the case for me! none of the bolts are loose at all...I even tried sprayin some good ol wd40...still squeaks!!

Any Ideas ?

If the vehicle is still under warranty, take it back to the dealer they may know what is wrong.
You could try to move the seat into a forward or middle position and see if that noise stops.
The rail may have movement, and need some grease. Try moving the seat forward and back hard, with someone in the seat and see if you can see and hear where the movement/metal bind is coming from. It could also be the springs in seat?

Hey Libertytc thanks for the tip, will try it out and see what happens, it is still under warranty so if I cannot figure it out, I will take it back to the dealer.
cheers
