We check every hanger we install and need to correct/tweak most all. Hangers will shift their alignment with the wheel's QR being tightened as the hanger and frame contact surfaces are not perfectly flat (see stamped reference above). But it sounds like a cable issue, friction changes over time.
bigbus- Have you places a witness mark on the adjuster to see if it's really rotating out of position from what it was set at? This is the only aspect a lock nut will solve. Andy
Morning Andy, Yeah, I put an ink mark from a felt tip pen on it and it rolls inward (threads in-clockwise) from the tension of the springs pulling on the cable. It turns really easy (too easy, in my opinion) but I don't want to cut the lead cable end off on the end of the cable at this point to put a lock nut on it. It can wait until I have other issues that require removing the cable.
