Escape Limited 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 166,000 miles

I just bought this 2005 Ford Escape Limited SUV. The driver seat has a 6 way power seat. It...tilts to the left. I paid almost $500 to have it reupholstered, yet it still feels very odd. the entire seat cushion leans toward the driver door. Could I put spacers in the 2 left side bolts(where the seat bolts to the floorboard)?

I don't know how to resolve this issue.

Update from Feb 13, 2017: It's the driver seat cushion that tilts or "leans" to the left. I tried putting in spacers where the seat bolts into the floorboard, however the bolts would not fit properly, so I had to abort that idea,
