Thanks for the info. It seems this might be the issue!
The nut is on the wheel itself, correct? Do I need to remove the wheel entirely to be able to see the nut, and do you think I will be able to tighten/loosen it myself, or will that require tools that a bike shop would have?
I've generally been making the quick release clamps very tight, but regardless, the wheel still moves, so I suspect there is something "internally" that is causing the movement to occur. Thus, the nut/hub sounds like a viable cause of the problem.
