Default excessive play in the seat track

I've got a 94 camaro with an electric seat tracks on drivers side but manual tracks on the passenger side. My drivers side tracks have some play in the track guide itself. I took off the surrounding trim to inspect it, and found that the seat track guides have like a teflon inserts on the guide contact area that a worn. I'm wondering if there are cheaper aftermarket replacements for these cars? I'm trying to avoid my local GM dealer because I'm sure they probably sell the whole seat track assembly. Thanks for any replies.

Mike

Default RE: excessive play in the seat track

just last week I took out my drivers side seat to see if I could locate the source of unwanted movement. After taking it out, removing the brackets from the seat and checking each bolt for tightness, I realized that the movemement was actually in the mechanism. I guess after 112k miles, the rivits that hold most of the brackets together just become loose. Because no matter how hard I tried, I could find no other source.
