Default Centering the swing arm pivot bolt

Hey folks

I plan on checking the alignment of my rear wheel and in doing some research I found something about the swing arm pivot bolt.

This sounds like something I would want to check first, before checking the alignment.

Anyone have any experience with checking this or problems with it?

Thanks...

What did the research mention regarding this. .? When I had the swingarm off and on, the bolt just slides through the transmission/swingarm, then a nut goes on and is torqued down. I'm not sure what centering could/would take place as everything only goes together one way.

Honestly, that's just the thing. I don't remember exactly what I found or where I read it.

I was thinking the same thing, that it would just go in one way, no adjustment.

Thanks!
