Abstract
A power seat adjuster includes a torsion member extending between the movable tracks of a pair of track assemblies. An elevating drive mechanism is coupled to the torsion member for rotating the torsion member. Motion links are fixedly mounted on the torsion member spaced from opposite ends of the torsion member and engage one end of a vehicle seat support for elevating and lowering the one end of the seat upon rotation of the torsion member. A one piece bushing/spacer is fixedly mounted in each movable track and rotatably receives and supports one end of the torsion member.
