KitchenAid Mixer head wobbles

I have the KitchenAid Mixer Model KSM180QHSD which is just a 100 year edition, tilt head 5 quart mixer. I bought it new and it's about 3 years old and is only used about once per month. The problem is that when I use it, the head wobbles even though I have it in locked position. I've done the dime test to ensure the beater is not hitting the bottom. I've also checked that the pin is not sticking out. This issue is most noticed when I'm creaming cold cubed butter and sugar, or when the dough consistency gets thicker. Any ideas what the issue is?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Did you find the answer to the problem by any chance?

I have a kitchenaid professional 5 mixer and the head wobbles when making dough. The head wobbles too when touching it by hand.

@moe82246. Hey Moe - Nope, I have not received a resolution to this problem. I've been searching and searching, but everyone's issues tend to be the simpler ones. I know I'm hard on my mixer, but considering Kitchenaid's reputation and price, I wouldn't expect that cold cubed butter or other ingredients should cause it to struggle. I've just been crossing my fingers everytime I use it, but wish I could find a solution.
