Today i have serviced my rear wheel,
inspected bearings, spacers, etc., cleaned, lubed it, and so on...

And when i took of the rear wheel i have noticed two strange bends on both sides on the inside of my rear swing arms.

Is it supposed to be like on the pictures ?
Is it a factory thing or a clear sign that it has been hit/crashed ?
On the outer side of the swing arms, there is nothing, it is like it would be new.
No bend, no strange curve, nothing.

I would say that's built like that, the swing arm needs to have a straight section for the axle and wheel to install flush, the swing arm is skinnier where it connects to the frame so it needs to flare out a bit before bending like that to give a straight mounting surface
