How do you fix a wobbly swivel chair?
Some people use a spinner to solve this issue. Others think that you can tighten the screw for it not to wobble as much. However, many experts believe that your chair will only stop wobbling if rested on hard surfaces and how often you clean or polish your furniture is how well they will be able to do their job.
To fix a wobbling swivel chair, first identify the issue with how much friction it is. You would need to tighten the screw if it’s too loose or lubricate the bearings that are causing problems if they’re too dry and worn out. On top of this, you may have to replace your upholstery depending on how much the chair is shaking.

How do you Install a Rocker Swivel in an Upholstered Chair?
Step 1. First, remove the old swivel base.
Step 2. Stack one of your identical replacement bases on top of each other and place them in between where you want the swivels to go. After adjusting how far apart they need to be for your furniture size, drill new holes into both pieces using your original base as a template.
Step 3. Next, screw your new swivel bases into the wood with lag bolts and washers to connect them both.
Step 4. Lastly, attach one end of each spring onto its corresponding bolt on the backside of the furniture frame using an open link clip or by cutting off the ends of each wire and connecting them to each bolt.
Step 5. The other end of the spring goes onto the corresponding swivel base bolt-on top, then adjust how tight you want it by tightening or loosening the screw that controls how much pressure is exerted between these two pieces.
Step 6. You should now have what looks like a new chair!
