Driver seat clicks when cornering

RustNomad51Community StarterMar 13, 20262020 Audi Q7 55 TFSINYC / Long Island
I can feel a small click through the seat base during left-right transitions. Bolts appear tight and the seat motor works. Anyone found a common way to isolate whether the play is in the rail, frame, or motor assembly? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

I parked the 2020 Audi Q7 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2020 Audi Q7, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 Audi Q7 before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
