That would be a pretty simple fix, but I agree that by doing that I'd not be seeing any issues that might exist in the drive side. I think I'm ok with that though. It's a beater and I'm not riding in traffic or at high speeds.

Regardless of freewheel/cassette, follow these steps.

Remove freewheel/cassette.
Remove NDS axle lock nut and cone nut.
Remove axle from DS (pull it out.)
Inspect for damage of axle and races in the hub.
Clean/regrease.
Tighten DS cone against locknut (or visa versa), outside of the hub
Reassemble, tightening the NDS cone nut to adjust hub.
