    I am seriously debating whether this is something I want to undertake. My driver side front wheel on my 07 Prius was able to be wobbled when off the ground and all lug nuts tight. Wheel and brake caliper off I am able to wobble the drive axle. Case of a simple bushing or baring repair or worse??? I have pulled the drive axle from a 98 Sentra before but was not that enjoyable. If I were to bite the bullet and send to Toyota dealer how much do you think a repair on this might set me back?

    could it be the cv joint? wheel bearing? how many miles on her? agood mechanic ought to be able to do this a lot cheaper than the dealer.

    Really bad wheel bearing. Don't drive the car. Dealer is around $400.

    Unfortunately you didn't post your location or we might be able to recommended a local repair.
