Received my manifold Saturday and it was 'wobbly'. I expected that it would be fairly rigid. Is this normal?

With it's mondular design you can expect it to be a little wobbly the one I have installed in my house was and works fine, it did get rigid because I mounted it on a stud :). No issues though and I like being able to expand it if needed. Only issue I had was that the valves would cut a small pice of plastic first time I used them, make sure you don't get pices of plastic stuck in your pipes and good luck with your installation!

I'm not sure if this just has a different design, but there was no issue at all with wobbling. It tightened correctly on 1st try.

Yes... mine were wobbly as well. Need to handle with care. In fact, to date I've had to return 1 of 2 bulbs because they were broken. Need to look closely at them. For some reason the packaging doesn't hold up well.

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.

That's not normal. I just went and pressed firmly down on mine (more than 15lbs would do) and it held its position.

Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip. I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement. The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me.

Make sure the silver knob coming out of the bubble level housing is backed off a turn or two, and the whole top, from the bottom of the bubble level housing, should rotate to pan. Only the bottom part that attaches to the vertical tube stays fixed. It was very stiff at first until I exercised it a few times. It's still a little stiff, but that keeps panning smooth and not jerky.

If it's not snapped in, then it's not normal. Mine clipped in with no issues or special adjustments right from the get go.

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly.Hope this helps.

Mine turns with the stiffness you want (so it doesn't slip easily) but it's not uncomfortably tight and moves freely when turned. Try working it a bit to see if it just needs the tightness worked out of it. Otherwise you may want to swap it if you think it hurts your ability to freely make adjustments.

Not normal. Nothing should be shifting or clunking. And not good that it was shipped without padding. Return it ASAP.

Mine does the same thing, I ordered another one so I can try to bend it to see if that will straighten it out. It's normal

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

Mine isn't wobbly,it is nice and tight. I could barely connect the top with the bottom because they are so snug.

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

I looked for this option as well (just getting the grids). Couldn't find it. That said, I'm glad I got this "all in one" because that's what it is. I've replaced the manifold before and cleaned out the grids as part of maintenance. Kinda of a pain getting everything lined up. This purchase came fully assembled and all I had to do is drop it in - took all of five minutes from start to finish. Kept my old manifold as a backup...

READ THIS! Yes, my seat when brand new felt wobbly after a few miles. That's because the screws on the pair of main springs were getting loose! All you have to do is tighten them real tight, preferably with a non-adjusting wrench. But don't apply too much torque that you start stripping the threads. And also check what UNHAPPY CAMPER was talking about. He makes very good sense. This seat is excellent if properly adjusted and installed, but it is not plug-n-play, I'm sorry to say.
