Customer notices a metal on metal squeaking noise coming from driver and passenger front seats. Noticeable when there is any weight shift of the occupant in the seat such as during acceleration, bumps, corners, etc. Customer unable to determine if the metal on metal noise is from seat back, seat springs or seat mounting.
