Luis, check the archives, I gave the Volvo part number! There is a service bullitin for this exact problem/"Lateral seat movement, causing a clicking noise upon accelleration or deceleration"...according to Volvo! The fix is the removal of the seat by Volvo and the installation of a miniture shock absorber in the seat track area. There is no charge, it is supposed to be a 30 min. fix BUT as so few techs have done it,(mine was the 1st in Vermont) it took over an hour! Does it work?????? About 95% of the time, I get no clicking!!!! However every now and again it will click...go figure, I guess it needs to be tightened! The dealers should be aware of this problem, your not the 1st to bring it up and it is covered under warranty!!! Hope this helps, Bill --
