Default Front seat clicking

Has anyone experienced clicking in the front corner of the front driver seat while turning or going over bumps? I've had it into Lexus 3 times to no avail. They reproduce it, but can't find where it originates. They did the TSB on the locator pins, but that wasn't the issue. Any thoughts?

My guess is the seat rails.

It's the nut that holds the seat belt lock.

I have this problem on my GX and it's very annoying you can hear a very loud click when you make a left turn. My dealer try to fixed the problem but no luck. They even charge Lexus for more than $300 to fix the problem.

Had it at the dealer for 6 hours, and spent 2 hours troubleshooting with the tech to no avail. The dealer is telling me there is nothing else they can do. I guess I'm on my own.....

I've had mine in 3 times to get it fixed. The last time they "supposedly" performed the TSB, but after 3 months, it's back doing it again. It's really pissing me off.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had this problem resolved.

My ES300 has the same problem, and the tech at my local dealer said the seat rails were causing the problems. I didn't get mine fixed because my car is old, and there are more stuff on higher priority that need to be addressed first.

use WD-40 to spray the plastic adjacent points under your seat. I hope this can help, at least, it fixed my problem.
