Did you speak to whoever fitted the half-shaft for you?
Yeah the garage is saying it can’t be them but it sure didn’t make this noise before
First step would be to go back to the garage for them to confirm what the noise is and that is was (or wasn't) caused by them.
Diagnosing a noise on-line is very difficult.
It could be totally unrelated to what they did or it could be that they disturbed (or undid) something which is now causing the noise.
I recall once driving a 90 with a very disturbing rumbling coming from the back axle (very pronounced on over-run).
A quick inspection showed that the rear axle ball-joint hadn't been seated properly in the axle and although the nut & split-pin were fitted, the taper was moving about in the axle. Split-pin removed, taper seated properly, nut tightened & split-pin fitted and it was then silent.
