Try tightening the screws that hold the fan blades to the metal fan holders.

Your fan is wobbling because it sound like it has come unbalanced. You can try the old trick of tapeing pennys on the fan blades to balance the fan out. just make sure you tape the on good. The pennys go on top of the blade so that you will not see them. hope this helps....

I believe you could attempt to take the fan down and see how well it is fastened into your ceiling stud if none of these other ideas work. I just did this on a job and found there was only one fastener attaching the housing unit to the stud. Hope that helps you out.
