Not sure if you can see the movement real great in the video. It's a tilt movement more than a side to side.

I see movement between the wheel and the trailing arm. That seems to indicate a bad bearing.
Or, it could be loose wheel lugs. I've made that mistake before (hate to admit it).

Lugs were the first thing I checked so i can eliminate one possibility.
