Rudder Stock dropped

Dear Sirs,
Would appreciate to advise what are the probable causes that could affect the Rudder Stock to drop down a few centimetres from its original position ?
The Rudder is of the semi-balance type.
The ship had been operating for about 3 years.
Hereby extend my thanks for yr kind response.
