Is able to fiddle with its components and get rid of the wobble (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stabilise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'components and get rid of the wobble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'is able to fiddle with its' is the wordplay.
'to fiddle with' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'able'='isable'
'isable' with its letters mixed up with 'its' makes 'STABILISE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stabilise that I've seen before include "Stop (something) rocking" , "Become less changeable" , "Make firm" , "Fix; regulate" , "regulate equilibrium" .)
