Default Ceiling Fan is 'rocking' violently

If it rocks, it is out of balance and with a poor installation it is tearing
itself loose from the ceiling. You need to do two things:
1 - You need to balance the fan, clean it first, if this doesn't work move
blades around or add special weights they sell.
2 - You need to fix the anchor so that it is solid and doesn't come apart.
There is a lot of info available on how to do this, do some research and fix
it before it falls down.

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
