My GX eagle mech looks visibly slightly bent and after checking the mech and hanger over, I'm fairly sure it's due to play in the B-Bolt.
Putting the cage lock on there's lots of horizontal play in the bolt and the bush it sits on, and it looks visibly straight when in the cage lock. It's when it's disengaged that the chain tension then pulls the mech to one side slightly due to the play in the bolt.

I've seen you can buy a spare bolt, but I'm not sure how exactly they're replaced or if it would help the play? Anyone else had similar, or tried a warranty claim for this?
Have you taken the mech off the bike and physically felt for any play in the bolt?
Yep, there's plenty of play in that bolt, which wasn't there when the mech was new. You can visibly see the play in the bolt/bush in that area when moving the mech horizontally.
I'm only guessing but I assume the bolt is only in a bushing meaning outs more likely the bushing is worn than the metal bolt?
