Thanks George, no not like the usual issue ie the lens perspective correction moves on its own.
My issue is that the two halves are not tight to each other. When I check focus the front end half of the lens moves. Hard to describe.
Now, with the lens point downwards, there is a light leak which can be removed by pushing the front half of the lens in.

Andy,
By move do you mean when shifted it will move on its own and the adjustment knob will spin? I.e. gravity
Mine did that and I tore down the shift knob mechanism and cleaned and greased the components and set tension within the enclosure of the knob. I have a schematic and manual and I think a couple pictures where I did it. But I am away from home right now. Will be later this weekend.

Old school camera/lens, Sydney Motor Sport Park:
Nikon D2Hs, Nikkor AI-S 105mm f/2.5
I look at these and think, "how come my 105/2.5 doesn't give me photos like these?" Then I realize that I would need to, a) take it to a race track (the easy part), and b) figure out how to keep up with the fast-moving subject while taking the shot (the hard part). I bow to your skill, Sar!
Now, getting back to my usual subject matter, it feels like a good moment to interrupt my flow of infrared images with a few autumn close-ups from the 85 f/1.4 Ai-s on the Fuji X-T4; so here they are.
Andy, I searched for a picture of your lens and found: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1641452
The 1st photo shows red arrows pointing to the retaining ring I suspect has come loose that I mentioned in the PM.

Thanks for your kind comment, Glen. Using a MF lens on a track is not that hard because you know the direction and trajectory of your subject. Usually, you need to stop down quite a bit to get a slow shutter speed for panning. So with a few metres of depth of field, you can easily pre-focus your lens and fire your shots when the subject enters in your field of view.

I was reviewing some old photos and came across this one. I posted this last year in color. I reworked it in B&W and removed a lost of dust.
Second shot, more storytelling then photographically appealing to me. I'm wondering if they were betting on the leaves holding on for a little while longer. 180mm f2.8 AIS.

It started snowing yesterday afternoon, but we managed another 2.5 mile walk. We are just shy of 100 miles since September 7th, and I am finding that birds find me on a scooter a novelty. With nearby predator birds like bald eagles, hawks etc - other birds seems to be in copious abundance. I guess they like to keep an eye on the top of the food chain. Meanwhile, the human seemly to silently glide along in the seated position - is all they talk about. I had a dream night before last about mounting a monopod with a gimbal head on the scooter. A guy can dream... D7200 400mm f5.6 ais TC-16A 960mm EFL
The woodpecker is incredibly sharp considering the amount of cropping your likely had to do. I really like the combination of the TC-16a and the 400mm 3.5, incredibly good at shorter distances.
I think I will stick to my 28mm f/2
