Abstract
A vehicle seat assembly includes a pivot structure, a seat and a bushing. The pivot structure has at least one link member that includes a pivot pin extending through an opening in the at least one link member. The pivot pin defines a pivot axis about which the at least one link member pivots. The seat is attached to the pivot structure. The pivot structure and the seat are configured to move between a seating or in-use orientation and a rear access orientation. The bushing is fitted into the opening of the at least one link member with the pivot pin extending through the bushing. The bushing is configured to deflect in response to movement of the link member relative to the pivot pin.
