is it visibly bent? I use a set of bent arms but they're not too bad. If you have a steel square taper and an alloy crankarm that was overtightened at one point, it may have loosened up and now bottoms out on the spindle. Or the spindle could be worn. Try turning it one flat forward or back and mounting it there? I usually tighten to 40-45nm.
