l/s seat recliner bolt bushing.

[Mike65]

I got my seats re-assembled after washing the seat covers & was going to re-assemble the seats & I found the seat recliner assembly where the top bolt that goes into the seat back is missing a bushing which appears to come with the recliner assembly. That is the seat that had the broken seat back bolt, so I am guessing when the bolt broke it broke the bushing. Has anyone had a problem with this & if so what did you do to fix it without replacing the recliner assembly.

Thanks for the info guys but these seats came out of a Sport in the JY & I do not have any of the vehicle info. I guess I will have to stop at my local Ford dealer & see if they have any of these parts in stock.

So we tried looking at 1998 and newer found part #F87Z-7862649-BB , this is called the "Tubular Frame Kit" it comes with two bolts one black and one silver in color. I used the silver one as it had the same threads, the kit also comes with a spacer to replace the plastic grommet.
