Yes, you can push the bearing all the way in, and then loosen the grub screws on the two pulleys in the back right corner, and push them all the way to the back, while holding the rod fully inserted. Then re-tighten the grub screws - and that will keep the rod in place.
That's probably what is causing the rough movement as well. At the very least, fix the pulleys first, and then see what needs to be done.
BTW, front to back is the y-axis, so those long rods are generally considered the y-axes. Although the motor that attaches to that rod is, indeed, the x motor. :-)
