The stub axle can slide if 2,5,6,7, and or 10 fail, all of which are compression points. Is there rotational play? ie can you roll the axle stub around at all? Either way, you're going to need new bearings and seals. The process is relatively simple to do and clarks garage has a write up to familiarize yourself with.
I did mine a month ago and the bearings and seals are the exact same parts as used on Type 1 VW's (Beetle and Ghia) with the IRS rear (68+) Got a local VW shop? They probably carry the german bearings.
Note: there's a HUGE circlip holding 5 into the trailing arm, so get a good pair of snap ring pliers. you might just learn some new four letter words!
