Bob, If the axle moves its the cones. Its unlikely the freehub body itself is loose. Cones are an easy fix, typically a 15mm and 13mm cone wrench. Be sure not to overtighten, it will quickly ruin a hub. If th e freehub is loose its a little more involved and better left to a qualified bike shop mechanic. Good Luck, Alan
