Don't think so! Check for wear in the rear drive pivot bearings by holding the rear wheel at the 3 & 9 o'clock position and rock back and forth across the bike. Any notable movement indicates possible bearing wear. Can sometimes be adjusted out if you're lucky, if not replacing the bearings is relatively simple and inexpensive for the home mechanic.
