Yes, there are multiple possible causes, which is why doing a proper diagnosis to find what is actually happening is the right approach.

Simply retrimming the FD may solve the problem in the short term, but may mask something which can get worse, ie. a loose bolt that will get looser and possibly fall off and get lost, or lead to the ring folding under load.
