Danish term or phrase: Drift i justering
I have unsure how to translate "drift i justering" from the following sentence:
"Drift i justering af skuffe", from the following:

Kassetteskuffe koerte ikke rigtigt UD / ind. - Drift i justering af skuffe Kassettestuffe virkede ikke korrekt. - Cal. af kassetteskuffe mm. var skredet.

Suggestions would be gratefully received!

Explanation:
... 'drift' can mean a slow movement, and although I am unfamiliar with this use of the word, it would seem to make sense that the cassette drawer is not properly aligned, i.e. it has 'drifted'.
