Depending on how often I drive my little slider lever will slowly move to the left until my wheel can be pushed in or out.Is this common and is it an easy fix?

It's been awhile, but, I think if you pull off the horn button and get down to the lever that locks the telescopic function, you can remove a screw and adjust the tightness to lock it down tight.
 
Go for it, you can't hurt it!
