RS may be right on tire/rotor, but just to be safe, I would immediately check that the axle nuts are as tight as possible with an 18" breaker bar and a 1 1/4"socket(32mm), i.e. 200+ ftlbs. Also lug nuts on wheels(only 90ftlbs). Sometimes even the best techs get interrupted and forget to tighten a nut or two.
If you drive with a loose hub nut, there is a good chance that you have destroyed the fragile wheel bearing. And if ignored long enough, the hub can spin in the bearing and you will also need a new(used) hub. neither of these are major items, so don't panic.
While you're down there, check the caliper and balljoint nuts and bolts and the tie rod nuts.
