Hi, my rear derailleur (4700) can wiggle around like this. Likely caused by a minor crash a few months ago. Can this be fixed or I need a new derailleur ðŸ˜
I just bought a new SRAM GX derailleur and it kinda wiggles as well

I had ltwoo gr9 and it wiggling more. I put washer between it and a frame. On other bike i have microshift sword and it do no unnecessary moves. On third bike i have wheeltop gex and it have tiny wiggles. Maybe also needs washer.

That’s well within spec for a Tiagra. You’re fine. If it’s not shifting, try having someone adjust it. There’s a chance your hanger is bent IF you fell on it, but from a diagnostic perspective adjustments come first.
