Hello, my 1979 pontiac trans am has a leaning seat problem, the driver side seat is leaning to the center of the car and i don't know how to fix this problem.
Any tips? is there anything i can get to stop it from leaning?

Super common. Combination of missing the nylon bushes on that side and seat frame twisted or cracked.

If you have the seats torn down to the frame.....check this area. Mine leaned to the center also and when I had them apart I noticed a crack on the upper seat backs. It caused a small twist in the frame and once I welded the crack it made the seat backs more stronger and gave it more support.

That's one reason they call him Big Willie, busts seat frames.

Big is right. I need to shed some weight.

And pay no attention to those welds. I'm still learning.
