Sorry dont understand your problem it's not your car?...if not tell your business partner to sort his own car...or strip it back down and re-do...

he wouldn't know the danger est end of a spanner, ive double checked the work on the arm and thats not the problem

Is the arm faulty then...if so return it and fit replacement...

Shippers · Nov 19, 2020

Oh and why did you replace it in the first place?...

the arm only has a bush one end and a ball joint the other, ive just taken it for a drive, sound more like something rubbing to me but cant see anything touching

Were the bolt tightened up with the weight of the car on the suspension, as i believe that is the correct procedure .

definitely some thing to do with rotation of shaft or wheel, the question now is what or how can simply changing the arm could cause something to rub?

Have you bent the brake disc back plate and its rubbing Guess jack it up and spin the wheel and don't forget the axle stands stay safe.
