Need to pick your brains. The circlip has come out of my drop arm ball joint off roading. It was a brand new britpart arm and balljoint. Does anyone know why or how this could happen. Should the arm come off easier than before. Looking for refund and new arm.

Usually because they have been assembled with the circlip in the wrongway or not seated correctly when built.

Circlips are stamped/punched out and have a sharp edge and a smooth edge

Today is a very important day it marks the first ( and probably last) day I can see the whole floor of the garage.

Hey Jai, still got your high lift - forgot to bring it back to you. Will drop it round to your nice clear garage floor over the next few days if that's ok!

He's learning!
With reference to the ball joint. Another failing is a complete lack of cleaning out the circlip grove to a standard approaching anywhere near enough cleanliness. A correctly fitted circlip will not come out. Installation error is the verdict.
Good luck with your refund!!! LOL.
