Seat help

Anyone know what the spring is for under the bucket seats in my 85 ss. It face front to back and connects to seat mounting brackets. It broke and I can't find the function of it on passenger side.

It holds the adjust rod in place so it locks the seat

This is the broken spring, the one end is snapped off, and it had a netting around it if that helps.

Mine came off on the driver side too. Same spring is in the Firebird seats. It is a nice to have but not necessary. When you pull the lever to adjust the seat with no weight in the seat it will move the seat all the way forward. This makes it easier for people to get in the rear of the car. Without it you have to pull the lever and push the seat forward. Since it works on my passenger side and that is the side that my kids generally get in on I did not bother to fix mine.

I just swapped F body seats into my Monte and left both off on purpose. My G body tracks were recently cleaned and lubed and if you moved the front lever, they would fly foward. I didnt care for that at all.
