94-97. I don't think it matters if they are power or not. (assuming you want the cushions/backs.)

Welcome to DF!
The cushions are one thing, but more importantly I need the recline mechanisms. Mine wont lock the back of the seat in the up position, and the EZ-out function doesn't work.

Passenger, or driver seat? On the passenger side, there is a linkage of sorts from the recline stuff, to the slide-me-forward stuff. I had to reconnect everything on mine. (passenger seat. I don't think the drivers seat does the same trick.)

In any event, I believe hardware is the same from 94 to 97 as well.

Did you take apart the recliner mechanism to fix this? Was it difficult? I am leary of taking it apart and having springs come apart and then not being able to get it together.

Mine was just dirty/rusty, so, all I had to do was clean and lube, and reattach the little cable feller. I think it took me all of 30 minutes. Didn't need to disassemble anything.
