It is more than likely a broken spring (or two). Mine had a broken spring on the driver side when I bought it. It felt like I was going to fall out the door everytime I made a left turn. I didn't want to go to all the trouble of trying to find a new spring so I took it to a local uphostery shop to see what it would cost for them to do the work. For $65 they installed a new spring, put in some new foam, and installed the new seat covers I bought from Jim Carter.

I know you said you didn't want to pay someone to do it, but it might not hurt to check and see how much they would change you.
