Abstract
A seat assembly includes a seat including a back and an armrest assembly. The armrest assembly includes a fastener supported on the back of the seat and that defines an axis. A fixed spacer is disposed about the fastener, and a spring bushing is disposed about the fixed spacer. An armrest includes a frame having a rotating bushing supported on the spring bushing. As a result, the frame and the armrest can pivot relative to the fastener and the back of the seat. The spring bushing applies a radial force against both the rotating bushing and the fixed spacer.
