We had a bit of bother gettin the n/s ball joint in, but went in eventually. Wondering if the angle of the shaft isnt quite right or something like that?
might be worth checking it mate. if its only started since you fitted the arms, chances are, its something you have touched/removed/replaced while doing them.
