How do you get a ceiling fan to stop from wobbling?
Answers:
There are usually screws in the base of the fan that you can adjust with a phillips screw driver, leveling it out.
Other answers:
you can buy counterbalance weights that attach to top of blades
for stabelizing but if shaft is bent you may have to get a new fan

re assem ble with good tightness
Try pushing it up and moving the joint around.....its kinda like adjusting your washer so it does not make noise....trial and error movement
First you want to make sure the fan's electrical box is fixed to a stud in the ceiling, or at least a brace. Then you can add little weights to the fan blades. to fix the wobble. They have them at Lowes/Home depot.
To stop it wobbling you can fix a couter weight on the opposite side of the wobble. Its a bit hit and miss though. With the foundation, you'll have to check if the fan has just come loose, in which, simply re attach via screws or similar. If this doesn't work, the structure of your roof may be damaged. In this case grab the plans of your house and examine the original blueprints of your ceiling/roof. Scrutinise the present condition of your ceiling/roof. Cross reference with the plans and note the disparities. If you can, fix it yourself. If not, consult a handy man or builder.
The very simplest thing to do is to run a solid bead of caulk around the base of the fan where it meets the ceiling. There is a bit of a gap there and if you fill that in and let it dry thoroughly, the fan becomes secure to the ceiling with no room to wabble.
White caulk blends in very well with a white ceiling but if you get any caulk on the fan, just wipe it off with a damp cloth before it dries.
It's pretty easy, if you've caulked before. If you havent, just take it slow and you'll be ok. - Remember, you're just drawing a circle with the caulk, don't over do it.
My problem with this was that I found the blades were not even from the ceiling. No matter where the balance weights were placed the thing wobbled until the blades were swapped around several times. Patience and a beer or two help. Also make sure that the fan is secured to wood so as not to fall
Check th distance between the ceiling and the tip of each blade. If there is less than 3/8 " you should be ok. tape a 1" washer or a quarter to the top of different blades. Keep moving it till you find the right spot. Epoxy it in place when you find the right spot. P.S. keep the ruler in one spot and rotate the fan to it.
