The Nagging Problem

I spent quite a few hours trying to rectify this nagging problem. I managed to straighten out the bent frame hanger as best as I could but somehow shifting is still not quite right. There is slight improvement but the chain still jumps a rear cog when I shift downwards to heavier gears. I believe the problem lies with a misaligned RD. Most people say the RD cage is bent but I doubt so. Truly, I have a feeling it is to do with the frame hanger. It is not only bent; the screw threads which hold the RD is damaged. I guess I will have to settle with this and just hope the situation will not worsen. Give me 3 years; 3 years to build a new ride.
