I have one end with the eyelet hooked to the lever and the other end with the ball on it is just placed in the middle of the seat, is this why my seat won't stay upright and if so where does it go?
Thats why, It attaches to the actuater assembly about 3/4 up the back of the seat on the right side. It should be in yoiur manual. If you don't have the manual you should get one
