i was wondering if the hole on the frame where the swing arm bolt goes is spose to just be a circle hole oris it spose to be oblonged rectangler shape hole i was wondering hat because my whole swing arm moves bolt and all no matter how tight i get it. ive tried putting washer n it to get better threads and still does it. it doesnthelp that the bolt is froze up in the sing arm. igot a differnt bolt but i am in iaq right now and i wanna hit it when i get home on leave so if any body has any advice would be helpfull

I would have to say that if your bolt is seized in your swing arm, your needle bearings are seized as well, this is causing the wear on your mounting point. You should replace them before you do anymore damage to your frame. (The hole should be round, with no play). Odds are that your swinger bolt is toast as well. Sorry for the bad news...
