Hi Folks

I got them apart, painted and lubed.....And back together.

Now, if I could only remember which set is for the driver side, and which set is for the passenger side :BangHead:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks FABO
 
can you tell by the levers to move the seats forward and backward? I did the same thing until I realized how simple it was by just looking at the tracks with the levers...LOL
 
LOL......Yup, I know the levers are on the outside. On the lever side track, there is a tab that is used to anchor the large spring. On the inner track, there is a tab on the top of the track (spacer to account for the spring tab on the outer). Wondering if these "tabs" go fore or aft. That would effectively make the pair D/S or P/S.......Or does it even matter?
 
isnt the tab on the inner track for the cable that connects the two tracks together for the lever release? If this is what you mean it goes toward the front.
 
Is there are any part numbers on them? Typically if the last digit is odd it is one side and even is the other, "Part numbers ending in an odd number are for the driver side and part numbers ending with an even number are for the passenger side."
