have you tried tightening the 4 bolts up that hold the sprocket to the hub?
is it just the sprocket that is moving or the whole hub assembly?

is the whole axle moving? are the bearings shot? is the sprocket tightened down?

there should be 4 nuts holding the sprocket on. i think they are 14mm but i dont' remember exactly. for the other side of the bolts, you will use an allen wrench. just tighten these nuts down. if the sprocket is moving, either these bolts are loose or the hub is bad. there are no bearings in the sprocket.
