You should of done the bearing replacement yourself =) It's easy and good knowledge to know, especially if your rig see's water a lot, you NEED to repack them often if you submerge the hubs often. It's almost impossible to seal them up right since keeping grease off the gaskets in the locking HUB is um... well ive yet to be able to keep grease off the gaskets =p so water inevitably will find a way in.
For now, take the hubs off and see what they did. Take some time with it and familiarize yourself with how the Aisin hub operates (its real simple) and fix it.
I bet they installed the spring wrong.

The wheelbearings on my truck were a little tedious. I was glad I had the help of a guy with years of experiance. Packing bearings is more of a "feel" thing, comes with experiance. Plus, tearing everything down is not that fun
