I just had new rotors, drums, brake pads and shoes installed on a Ford vehicle.?

Now when I accelerate, you could hear a whirling sound like something is spinning. The faster I accelerate the faster it makes the sound.

The sound seems to be coming from the driver's rear side.

Any thoughts on what it could be?

Or is this normal?

    Sounds like a wheel bearing. The shop where you had the repairs done should have test drove your vehicle and made sure all was well in fact letting you know of any new problems that had shown up. Must not of been a reputable shop but if they are they will take care of the problem or at least test drive it and tell you what else you need repaired if not fix what was not done right in the first place. Good luck

    it sounds to me like you have a frozen or sticking brake piston, when i do a brake service i always look at the condition of the caliper assemble, and always make sure your rotors are reasonable free of groves. shallow groves are acceptable but anything over .020 in. is not acceptable and your rotors should be resurfaced

    Not normal at all I would take it back and ask them to fix the problem and the mechanic that worked on the car should be talked to.

    no way to tell sometimes new parts make problems show up....sometimes the parts were installed incorrectly

    i would suggest taking it back to shop asap
