Well my manual lumbar support broke today. I was reading through old posts about replacing it and ran across a few that said you could simply replace the manual unit itself for under $50. I typed in the part number but was not able to find the part. Does anybody know if that part is still made? or is there a new way to go about fixing the manual lumber support?

This was the thread with the part number in it, page 2

Anyone happen to have a new part number or have dealt with this lately?

Thanks,
Alex

 

Bump..Anyone have any idea? I have been looking online a little more, but just have not been able to find the right stuff.

 

alex i was one who posted the info the Part # is1-05166079aa at a cost of $42.00. that was right off the bag and my truck was a 06, but i ordered for a 05 and it matched perfect. I have the bag for it in my shed and if you want to call me i can verify or give you any thing off it. 512-413-2971 howard

 

Thankyou for the response. I will give you a call Monday.

 

H Brown, thanks for the offer but I was finally able to find it!

I called two dealers and they both said the part number I had must be wrong. Finally, on the third dealer I called they said it was the right part number and they actaully had one in stock. Anyone else that might have theirs break, I was unable to find the part online, but the dealer should have it.

 

Mine broke and I was going to buy the replacement part, but thought it'd just break again (like my third blend door). I took the piece to a machine shop and had one turned out of some fancy polymer stuff?? like a heavy pliable plastic and haven't had any trouble; except I can't get my manual turn **** to stay on now. Anything other than cheap OEM for me.

 

How hard was that to relace mine died and now I have a piece of metal sticking through my seat

04 quad

 

I finally fixed mine yesterday. The metal bracket cut through the foam and the seat cloath.
It was pretty easy. Mine wasn't broken it juts came loose on the inside attachment. I goes in and then makes a 1/4 turn to lock. I ducttaped over the bracket which will keep the lumbar from rotating. I always thorught the lumbar didn't come out enought for my taste, so I added a piece of carpet between it and the foam much better now.

now onto the bottom cushion.

Go the bottom done tonight 1" foam and somw scrap berber carpet. Very nice

 

I plan on doing mine this weekend. Ill let ya know.
