My 97 Camry with power seats did the same thing. It bothered me so much I
gave the car to my wife to drive. (I bought a 98 accord) It didnt bother
her.
Then she was rear ended on the highway. Some rear end damagen minor injury
to my wife.
The seat motor made a grinding sound now.. The repair guy said it was normal
untill I showed him that the passenger side did not make the noise.
He called the insurance adjuster out and they repaired the drivers seat. Not
sure what they did but it fixed the problem.

I found the movement to be very annoying every time I started and stopped I
would feel the seat move slightly....

I wouldnt recomend going out and getting rear ended but it did fix the
problem with my seat..
