front seats are still loose, anyone ever install that gas strut from the TSB?? 850 1996

Hello,

The front seats in my 96R are irritatingly loose. It's extremely hard to enjoy the amenities of your luxury car when the seat rocks back and forth under acceleration and braking. I know that the cheap fix is to put shims under the seat rails where they bolt to the floor. I tried that and I think my problem is too severe to be fixed by coins. I have heard from this board that the real fix is that expensive little gas strut that takes up slack in the seat. Has anyone here installed this part? Could you describe the difficulty of the install? Did it work?

Basically, anyone with any experience regarding this problem and any solutions, please reply.

As always, thanks in advance,

Duncan
