I bought a few fixed-lens rangefinder camera recently I noticed there is a common problem among them: The shutter/lens unit is wobbly on the focusing mount.
Sometimes it could the be mounting plate or the lock ring of the shutter/lens unit has been loosen , but for 2 or 3 of them has a common problem within the focusing unit. I opening a camera (Mamiya Auto Deluxe II ) and it seems likely from the helicoid in inside the focusing unit. It is somehow loosing and causing the wobbling of the Lens/shutter.

Is there any way I could fix this problem ?

Thank you!
