Default 76 C3 driveline problem

my dad told me that his 1976 stingray has something broken on the in the drivetrain. the left rear tire moves side to side a little while you drive it. neither of us know what the part is called that broke or even what broke as we haven't taken it apart yet. so I thought for a good christmas present would be either the part to fix the vette or for me to replace it and the top end on the engine so it runs and drives nice for him. This car is his pride and joy and I wanna see him drive that old stingray again.

That could be a wide variety of things. I know very little about the rear in these cars, so I'm not a good one to help, but if you post up as many details as you possibly can I'm sure someone here can point you in the right direction.

Good luck with it!
