It's not flush with the ceiling, has about 1/8th inch all around.
It worked good for 3 months, now it's wobbling like mad.

I don't know much about how to fix or replace the box in the ceiling
the fan is attached to.

How much wobble is normal?

How can I fix the fan, box, or both?


thanks


NO wobble is normal. Sounds like a poorly done installation that is
falling apart.


Does it need a new box?

Reason I ask is, the fan is as high as possible on the box, it cannot
be moved higher.

I'm the one who installed the fan and it worked perfect for 2.5-3
months, now the wobble.

All the screws are tight.

Would shims around the base to make it tight work or be safe?


thanks to all.
