Kickstand Fastener Set (T3 Torx Screws)
These specific 2.7mm T3 screws provide the clamping force between the kickstand plate and the hinge pivots. Repeated use creates shear stress that leads to thread back-out, resulting in the user-reported wobble. Replacing or re-securing these with fresh thread-locking compound restores mechanical rigidity.

Replacement Kickstand Plate
If the device has been used extensively while the screws were loose, the mounting holes in the kickstand plate can undergo 'ovaling' or deformation. Once the geometry of the mounting point is compromised, new screws cannot maintain sufficient clamp load, requiring a full plate replacement to provide fresh, non-deformed mounting surfaces.

Friction Hinge Assembly (Left/Right)
The internal friction mechanism within the hinge uses interference-fit components to maintain torque. Over time, the internal lubricant can migrate or the friction surfaces can wear, leading to a loss of resistance that the user perceives as 'looseness' or 'wobble' in the axial rotation.
