Hole? So far, all the holes are fine. Its the perch bolts that are the issue.

The biggest problem is that the perches are not fully bolted down onto the wishbone forks. There is a slight movement between the wishbone forks and the axle. It's been like that for a very long time.

To fix that I would need to get the perch bolts moving inside the axle...and if I can do that, I'd rather just replace them.
