To remove seat wobble (side-to-side movement), take the following steps.

1.Obtain a ³⁄₁₆-inch and ⁵⁄₁₆-inch hex key.

2.Use the ³⁄₁₆-inch hex key to loosen the two adjustment screws as shown in the following figure.

3.Use the ⁵⁄₁₆-inch hex key to turn the wheel lock adjustment key clockwise ¼ turn as shown in the following figure. This process realigns the center wheel inside the top rail. Leave the ⁵⁄₁₆-inch hex key in place while you tighten the adjustment screws with the ³⁄₁₆-inch hex key.
