Correct. there is a TSB out there to replace the linkage and pivots. Basically, if you take the trim off the seat and lube the pivots, it will fix the squeak temporarily. I used Dupont stuff and it got rid of it completely for about 6 months and came back although the noise is very faint. I think if you mix up some WD-40 and liquid graphite, it should fix it permanently. I will post a DIY when I get around to re-lubing it.

My seat just recently started creaking and I went and tightened the two mounting bolts and the cross brace bolt at the rear left but it still creaked. I went ahead and figured I do the front left mounting bolts and that cross brace bolt but that didn't work either. I ended up taking the caps off the rear and front bolts on the left side that actually hold the seat rails to the body of the car and tighten them up and what do ya know, silence! These were pretty loose when I tightened them up. But it seemed that when I tightened the front bolt the creaking stopped. We'll see how long it lasts before it starts creaking again.
