<p>A track assembly (10) comprises a seat track member (12) that in use is secured to the base of a vehicle seat, slidably engaged with a floor track member (14) that in use is secured to the floor of a vehicle. At least one bearing assembly (16) is form fittingly retained between engaging portions of the track members (12, 14) so as to facilitate sliding movement of the seat track member (12) along the length of the floor track member (14).The or each bearing assembly (16) comprises an elongate spacer (52) provided with a steel ball (54) at either of its ends. At least one plastic ball (56) is provided in a side by side arrangement with each of the steel balls (54) such that a steel ball (54) is located between each plastic ball (56) and the spacer (52). In preferred embodiments, two plastic balls (56, 58) are provided in a side by side arrangement with each steel ball (54). The use of plastic balls in the or each bearing assembly (16) reduces the formation of indentations in the track members (12, 14).</p> |
