Help - 580ex ii wobbles

[greeneyes1976]

I just got my speedlight back from a camera repair place becuase it basically popped off from the hot shoe (all the wires were exposed) and it's fixed but it wobbles now. Any one else have this issue? I never had this issue on my 40d and it started doing this on my 7d right after I started using the gary fong diffuser

Below I put a link to a forum and a picture of exactly what mine is doing. Has any one had any experience fix it the diy way they are referring to?

You could try the DIY mentioned but if you're not mechanically inclined then I agree with one answer in the other forum. You should return it to the repair place. BTW, that's never happened on my 580ex II.

You're missing a large rubber piece that fits in there, but not sure that it'd be causing THAT much of a wobble. You mentioned the rubber in your post, but I can't tell if you've just removed it to demonstrate or not...

Also, are you sure the locking pin comes out when in the lock position?
