Just had front lower ball joints and tirod ends replaced about a week ago. Went out this evening to a fishing spot and 4 wheel high would not engage. Just a bad spinning/grinding sound from the front, put it back in 2 wd and headed home. About a mile down the road it started making the sound again in 2wd and I limped it a coupe miles home. Is this something that could have been caused when the ball joints were replaced? Ideals on what is causing this.

It is not possible to determine if something was done during the recent work that could have caused this. Take it back to the shop that did the work and get them to check.

Kind of depends if you have "locking hub actuators".
