Hope hub wobbles on axle

Hi, I've got a hope pro 4 hub and I've found that it wobbles on the axle and means the wheel (rim/tyre) can easily be shuffled side to side of the frame. I've noticed that the freehub body itself doesnt doesnt move alongside the hub, and stays static just like the bolts (i know the bolt on the left looks loose, I tightened both after to the same results. Any ideas?

You might want to re-think your whole set-up.

Sounds as if the bearings are worn out or at least maladjusted.
