sobayimage Report post Posted June 3, 2011 I have a 2009 Fusion Hybrid. When I was rotating the tires I found that the right front wheel would move about 3/8" when it was rocked back and forth. The left front wheel didn't move at all. Is 3/8" a lot of play in a front bearing for a Ford Fusion? I was told it was not a matter of just tightening the wheel nut but the bearing was a unit with the axle. Does the wheel bearing have to be replaced or can it be tightened?
