Volvo seat creaking - Steve S
The driver's seat on my C70 has developed an annoying creak when ever your weight shifts while cornering.

I've checked and lubricated the underpinnings and they seem solid enough. I feel the problem may be in the base of the seat - can this be removed easily for inspection?

Shouldn't be too difficult to remove. They're often secured to the body with caphead screws in the seat slide rails. Move the seat to it's extremities to expose them.....

If the seats have side airbags built in I wouldn't do this as I believe that disconnecting the wiring to some seats can cause these to fire.....how old is your car?
