Re: Oh my aching back.....HELP!!!!! 200 '88

Get in there and see if your lumbar support is broken. A broken lumbar wire (and they are thin wires) will give you no lower back support, leaving the upper part of the seat to press uncomfortably into your shoulders. Open up the hog rings at the base of the seatback, unscrew the lumbar knob and its bezel, then roll the skin up.

If one of your lumbar wires is broken, you can bend a replacement out of a piece of coathanger wire. After breaking the OEM wires about 5 times (I had a stiff clutch pedal for a while), this fixed it for good.

If your foam is moved around, you can try squishing it back in place as the other poster mentioned. If the foam is flaking out like yellow snow (not THAT yellow snow!), you might need to get some replacement material.
