Abstract
A power seat adjuster includes a drive shaft rotatably driven by a motor mounted centrally on a bracket fixedly connected at opposite ends to one of the fixed or movable tracks of a pair of vehicle seat track assemblies. The drive shaft threadingly engages a drive nut mounted in a resilient holder carried on a bracket fixedly connected to another of the tracks of the track assemblies. The single lead screw and single drive nut simultaneously move both movable tracks of the pair of track assemblies.
