Ivr had to send my 50 Apo back twice. The first time for the initial flare issue. The second time for a loose front end as described here. 

 

I have also had a similar experience with my 28mm Summicron. It's never been totally fixed,

This happened to me with a lens I just bought used. The Elmarit  21 mm f 2.8 Same wobble. Same issue with a Summicron 75mm f2 APO I got.
Barrel axial and Rotational play while the lens mounted. I know it's an old lens but in great shape. I wonder if this is the fate of all Leica lenses.

Call DAG.  Unless you bought locally from Leica Miami, which I doubt, as they thoroughly inspect used gear, and send to DAG or Wetzlar to sort any issues (and sell with warranty).
