Chosen Solution

I have an early 2009 MacBook and now there is what I would classify as excessive play in the hinge point of the MacBook. As it sits upright, I am able to move the screen 3/32 of an inch forward and aft. It seems to be looser at the left edge of the hinge point than the right. Is this normal or not? Does anyone else have play in that part? And could it be a problem in the future if I do not fix it? Regards, Frank
