Too familiar...Same thing happened to me after ball joints replaced. I learned a lesson on who can touch my baby. Show me a certificate, give me 3 references, etc...

In my case, they seemed to have used a chisel to take the hub off to service the ball joints. This left a nasty dig at the o-ring seal. Oh yeah, they also forgot to replace the o-ring and the hub-axle seal (probably has a special name), and you got to replace that stuff when you take off the hub. So one or the other, or combination of both, and you get no vacuum to the hub and no auto 4WD. In the end, what I had hoped to be a simple alignment job turned out to be a $2,000 lesson. Hope yours doesn't cost you that much, or you can fix it yourself!
