Which one

Depends what's wrong with it. If it's wobbling because the yellow plastic bushing is worn (the most common failure) you're either going to have to get a new one or a hubdoctor kit. Both will require some lube to ease the extraction from your wallet

 

If it's just stuck, a cleanout will work, but then it's likely to have the play described above when you're done.

 

The bearing on the outer edge is a standard one available from BMG or similar, but the bushing usually goes first.

I can assist if you're more specific about your issues and which model of wheel...

The local agents keep spares of specific wheels for 5 years. But sometimes you may get lucky and find spares at bike shops (usually involves lots of phoning around)

I have a Sun Ringle Demon hub and the freehub has a mm or two play from side to side (cassette moves side to side). Will take it in to LBS tomorrow, might be locknut that's loose, but if it can't be fixed:

 

- where would one find a replacement, and

 

- can I ride with it like that in the meantime? Shifting is still solid and wheel runs well.
