Well this sucks...
I was vacuuming my 91 Camaro and I pulled the seats out and discovered the seats did not have the correct nuts to hold them in and 2 of the studs broke on the driver side and passenger side I got them back in thankfully nothing was stripped but the studs are definitely broken so the seats are loose can someone tell me what to do and is this going to be cheap to fix or no?

Fyi... You don't need a jack necessarily, you can always lift up the portion of the carpet and take a gander at your floor pans, you could then snap a few pics... Heck you could easily just press down from above and feel if they're solid or lay on the ground and with one hand firmly feel around. That of course is dependent on the condition, DO NOT end up like the Flintstones firmly probing around the floor pans though.

Then if they feel solid, either pull the carpet and take pics for the sr members here to advise, or go get a Oil Change and while it's up on the lift you can inspect the undercarriage and take a few pics so you can get the answer to your question. Drilling out the old studs isn't the real hard part, it's the welding in the new studs and having the skill / equipment to do so. Honestly if it's not done by a friend who's good with welding the simple answer is no, at a shop it probably will NOT be a cheap fix. That is also dependent on your definition of cheap...
