I had my front shocks replaced with some newly rebuilt ones by my local Ford dealer. Not real happy with their work. Looks like they pinched a vacuum line under the top of the driver side shock. Every single clip to hold the vac lines in place was broken off and replace with cheesy zip strips and the PVC line was left disconnected from my intake.

Pinched Vac line:

Cheesy zip ties:

Not sure if this should be open like this?:

More cheesy zip ties:

They could have at least used black zip ties:

Vacuum line needs to be replaced. Have them do that and replace all the broken clips. Did they do this under warranty?

Curious if your 4x4 works.

The tech obviously screwed up, and out of sheer laziness thought no one would notice.
At least Ford should stand behind their work and get you squared away.
Maybe request a different tech.

To answer your question on the tubing that was open. Here is mine so, Yes.
I think its a relief tube

Yes, I just figured out that its a relief tube for when you release the vacuum when switching to 4x4.

That pinched line is cutting the vacuum to the passenger side hub so it trying to partially engage. Not good.
