Power landing jacks

I have power landing jacks on my 5th wheel.
Just yesterday I noticed that the motor moves up and down and side to side when operating. Should this be happening? What is the fix if not. Thank you.

Mine wiggles.Check to make sure all the fasteners on the system are tight and then ignore the noise and movement

Yeah, that's normal. The motors are pretty free to move around due to the design, if you have a single motor drive with the cross shaft.

I think it is normal for the motor to have some movement. Mine has moved around since new, but works well, and is fairly quiet.
