VE creaky seats.

Picked up an '08 SSV last week, 100,000kms. Drivers seat creaks and cracks when I push back into it-last owner was a larger bloke. I've read on here it tends to be common but want to know if there's a quicker/cheaper fix than taking it to Holden? Anyone else has this issue? I'm guessing springs?

It's definitely not that, its internal.

The Holden butchers ( Techs ) just grease the pivot area for warranty. It fixed mine.
Had to do clean up after when a blob of black grease came out when I stored my shopping,rubbish bags under there.
