Does Anyone Elses Seat Feel Wobbly? Bought the same seat in the past & it didn't. It's on tight & I can't turn it or move up / down.

I installed it on an old mountain bike using the original seat post, & yes, the front is a little high, but one would need a beach cruiser-style seat post to utilize the adjustable mount included with the seat. Seems to stay tight, though.

I bought two at the same time. I put them on our bikes and have had no trouble. You might have to change the shaft the seat attaches to so it is the right size. Both of our bikes came from Walmart.

READ THIS! Yes, my seat when brand new felt wobbly after a few miles. That's because the screws on the pair of main springs were getting loose! All you have to do is tighten them real tight, preferably with a non-adjusting wrench. But don't apply too much torque that you start stripping the threads. And also check what UNHAPPY CAMPER was talking about. He makes very good sense. This seat is excellent if properly adjusted and installed, but it is not plug-n-play, I'm sorry to say.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

I was wondering the same thing. Been using the seats a lot with no problem. Everyone loves them!

You have to tighten the nut very, VERY tightly, and the act of doing so has a tendency to tilt the seat forward a bit, so start with it tilted slightly back. It's not a really comfortable seat-I'm thinking about replacing it with something different.

Hi. My husband tried to lower the seat and decided you can't. I hope you can find out differently, but for now that's all we know.

I had the legs flipped the wrong way. You have to make sure they're set so the "long" and the "short" sections (from the screw that secures them in the leg) are on opposite sides to increase stability. Not sure if that's what's causing your wobble. But it was my initial issue when setting it up.

Have the same problem with mine. I agree with the others....still like the seat. Perhaps we should contact the company and they will modify the design.

I have the same problem. I just installed a new seat on my Eljer toilet. I tried using the metal washers in all three positions, to no avail. The seat will not stay up. I called tech support, but they said the only adjustment is the metal washers. Not sure of my next move--I put the old yellowed, faded seat back on.Update: Amazon sent me a replacement and I am having the same problem: Lid stays up fine, but the seat will not stay in the up position! No Adjustments that I can see---moving slotted washers does nothing. I guess I will send this one back and get a non self closing lid.

Mine has been wobbling like crazy every since I put it together. I've taken it apart, and reassembled twice, and it's never gotten better. I've tried to find a way to cross-brace it in the back, but the legs are metal, and I don't have the tools to get through it.

Hmm, mine's adjustablee .... you may want to reset your seat and make sure there is nothing binding up preventing it from adjusting. However, make sure you sit in it when you adjust, the spring is seriously strong and need body weight to adjust, not just hand pressure.

Make sure that when you tighten the one bolt you keep the one on the other side from turning. Two adjustable wrenches will help with that. Hold the one side still while you tighten the other. Tighten until the seat no longer wigles. I had not problems, other than I remember it took quite a few turns to get it tight. good luck. Oh, by the way, if you contact the manufacturer, they are VERY helpfull.

Mine feels snug, I just checked it. Although I don't move it much, and have had mine for about a year.

The seat bottom is pretty narrow due to side bolster & back has side bolsters that make it tight. Try a seat that has less bolsters & less contours.

I have noticed no movement but my daughter cranked on the snug downs with her body weight kneed in the seat so I didn't expect any. I am also not an expert. Trust your feelings, Luke.

I am having similar problems but I find mine sags to much. I bought it for my back, also.

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.
