Default Gangsta Lean

Hey guys I have a little problem with my driver seat. It suffers from the infamous lean. I know there is an article on how to fix it but I couldn't find it and I tried the damn search over and over again. Do any of you know how to fix it or know of a website that has instructions on how to straigten it out? Thanks a lot guys, my neck has been killing me from having to tilt it going down the road and I want to get the damn thing fixed

Pretty often 5.0's seats lean to the left really hard..... it basically looks like your doing the famous "gangsta lean" when your really not. Its a PITA. There was also a article in 5.0 mag called "Gangsta Lean"

My drivers seat had that lean but I took the seat apart and discovered the seat track was bent and cracked. I sraightened it with a hammer and used c-clamps and support brackets I made and welded it all back together. I even used a piece of stainless steel to reinforce the entire rear portion of the lower track. Works good now and no lean. Didn't cost me anything since we do welding at my job.
