if that's the case, possibly more things are out of alignment. the entire RD may be whacked or just the cage. better to replace than mess up the rest of the drive chain or even worse, the frame when your chain gets wrapped up in your wheels.

It's still not fixed. Get it to a shop and get the hanger checked.

In fact, rather than getting it checked, get it replaced, and then checked
Caveman tweaking should be restricted to 7 speed or less!

Loose cage? I had that problem with my 6870 RD, and retightening the cage fixed it. Could also be a bent hangar, like everyone else has said.
