If it's an all-metal version of the lens you may be able to tighten
everything up inside, but if its mostly plastic you won't be able to have it
fixed for
a cost-effective price, even if the repair guy can find or rig a replacement
part.
I just went thru the same experience with a Tokina 50-250 zoom I picked up on
ebay. The focus was "stripped" in that it would just go past infinity and
keep going and going. The seller, a camera store, took it back and had his
repairman look at it, and he determined that it wasn't repairable at all, and
refunded all my payment and shipping costs.

The glass is clear and aperature seems snappy, so far so good.
But: The zoom is quite loose and "waggly", and the lens won't focus
properly at infinity. It "overfocuses", if you see what I mean.
I suppose it's not worth the money leaving it to a tech, so is this
something I can possibly fix myself? Should I even bother to start
loosening all those tiny screws?
Help!
