Thanks again for the replies.

As a crank arm loosens off its tapered steel bottom bracket axle, the wiggle room allows the square taper hole to become misshapen. This happens over very little time as the crank arm is made of softer aluminum that the harder steel bottom bracket spindle. Depending on how long you have ridden
