Why does my new ceiling fan keep wobbling after reinstalling it?

Excessive ceiling fan wobbling despite secure mounting and multiple reinstallations usually stems from blade imbalance or alignment issues. This prevents the fan from running smoothly and quietly, often requiring a blade balancing kit to correct.
