Take the arm off and have a look would be the best bet, hopefully it will be the arm as they are cheap to replace.

Thought you might of been involved in this thread lol,
I refer to the thread starter that your wiper motor and stalk need taking off to investigate whether its the splines (grooves) on the motor or the stalk are damaged, then you will know if you need to replace the stalk or motor its self, even though your motor is working it still may need replacing due the splines being damaged.
