RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens slightly wobbling

Dear community:

The top portion of the lens is wobbling a little bit from side to side due to an unexpected drop to the floor. I checked and the lens is working fine. manual mode and AF mode work fine. Should I send it to service or do you think I can live with it? Thank you

Yes by all means.

Any dropped lens or camera needs attention.  There can be and likely is hidden damage indicated by, " the lens is wobbling a little bit from side to side...".  Lenses are critically aligned equipment. Dropping that appears to have no damage can alter any or all those critical alignments. Send it in and explain it was dropped.
