Got myself a problem with my mountain bike, its a saracen rufftrak. When i spin the back wheel the rear gear casstee wobbles from left to right by about 5mm, and this has only started recently and ideas on how to fix this?

Try taking off the cassette and see if the freewheel is also moving : if it is then it´s an easy piece to replace .
If you don´t have the tools then take yourself along and make friends with the local bike shop guy ´cause it´ll be cheaper to pay him rather than to buy the tools .
