I'd be willing to bet that it's either a bearing or shimming issue. I'd take
it back to the shop that did the work, they should be responsable for
correcting any issues that have arisen.
Also, alll work done by any dealer is covered under a 12 month / 12k mile
warranty. They shouldn't give you any greif about it.
