Default New bushings to fix "rocking chair"?

Dealer just called to say my 20k service was done. Asked them to look at the driver's seat as it is starting to get the "rocking chair." I've heard of the dealer replacing the rails, as they wear or something, but has anyone had just the bushings replaced? Did this solve the problem? (Atleast for a while, as I know this is a recurring thing)

Default On my third "rocking chair".....

Well....I'm not too certain if they replaced the bushings, but I am on my third frame replacement.

How shall I say, the rocking chair must have come early for me...funny, I thought it was just a one-off. Evidently, there are others out there. Good luck.

Default thanks...

I've heard they're chronic, but I was more curious if this would help, or just appeasment rather then replace the frame. They did the service and seat in 2 hours, so I'm a bit skeptical.

The past two fixes (#1 replace frame, #2 tighten something) worked for only a while...get use to it.
