I have needed to have the passenger seat repaired then replaced. Now the driver seat first went ‘Bong’, and it feels like something is ‘off’ in the back of my seat. Hurts my back but my mechanic can’t feel anything. At $600 or more, should I look for a used seat and just swap the seat out? Is this common?
