   my vtr and gti seats are like this. for some reason my passenger seat does it more ,thank fuck.
   its supposed to have a little bit of play incase you have a rear ender. you can stop it slightly though apparently by doing something to where it bolts into the floor. forgot what but have a search

   Because they use a ratchet system they tend to wear slightly and rock the more they are used.
   
   As said, not a lot you can do about it without dismantling the seat and rebuilding the ratchet system
