crooked seats

I was curious as to if there's a way to straighten out the seat at all. My drivers seat has what i call the "ghetto lean" ..if you can picture it the back of the seat is twisted to the right from the previous owner sittin thuggish leanin on the center console. Just noticed it a few weeks ago, and its been buggin the crap outta me..any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my drivers seat except it leaned to the left. if you pull the seat out and look at the track you will probably see whats wrong. the front part of the track is all one piece with the track but the back mount pad is riveted to the track, over time these rivets loosen up and cause the rear part of the track to sag causing the "ghetto lean". I took my tracks off the seat, pounded them straight again and welded the rear mount pad to the track. then reinstalled everything and it's all good now.
