Could be axle bearings. You'll know for sure once it's apart. And hopefully it is bearings as they're much cheaper than an axle shaft.

Are these axles the same on both sides for length? If so I'd swap them side for side if they are the same and see if it follows it to the other side this one be one way to make completely sure it's the axle before buying one

Bearings wouldn't cause this kind of issue. The wheel itself wobbles like the wheel is bent (it's not though as the first thing i did was swap the wheels in the rear). I can see it moving at slow speed while jacked up in the air.

One other thing to try is to switch that wheel to a different location and see if the wobble follows the wheel. It's been known to happen since cart wheels/tires are not balanced like a traditional car tire.
