Default HELP WITH SEAT

I just bought a 90 LX 5.0 over a week ago. A lil project pony for myself. The drivers side seat back is cocked to the right, meaning the right side of the seat is lazy and has slacked back. Thus making a crooked ride. Any ideas how to fix this? Or what I should look for? Thanks!

You got da gangsta lean. The frame is either bent or broken. Either way the seat will have to be disassembled to see what needs to be repaired.

This may help ya

I have the same problem with my '92 GT. I took the seat out, disassembled it, and found out one of the welds was broken. I fixed it, put it back in, and found that it still leans. I'm thinking about putting new seats in. I've heard that other mustang seats up to an '04 will fit fine. Has anyone else heard that this is true?

First I'll do a quick fix until I get all the rest of my project done, then I'll invest in some new seats. I know it's a common thing in the Foxes. My 88 had it too.
