AutoGlide Seat Sounds Like A Machine Gun.

whats going on guys? today im cleaning my car, on the passenger seat when i push it forward... its sounding like a machine gun is going off, but when its moving backward it sounds fine. will lithium grease work if i spray it onto the tracks? thanks!

I'd lube it worm before you wipe out the worm gear. You may have a french fry

or something contaminating the track. Take a good look at it.

french fry, haha... not likely no one eats or drinks in the mark...lol ill take a closer look. another thing to add while in the process of moving forward, ( when it sounds like its "buckin shots" ) the seat rattle alil.

Sounds like it is definitely binding. It will probably be the gear on the seat that rides on the 2 foot long worm gear. Just like a garage door opener that runs on a gear drive. They wear and start to slip.
