Check for rusted brake parts, and also for partly seized bearing plates on the front struts, causing them to turn in a rough or jerky fashion. Sometimes the struts can be greased but often they need to be replaced.
Answerif it's a whining noise you may need to check your power steering fluid level. I had this same problem. And if I am thinking of the same straining noise your talking about. Mine sounded like a noise like wet rubber was rubbing hard together? is that the same sound? if it is the same sound, I had to put new front struts in my 1999 Dodge Avenger and it didnt make the sound anymore.
Bad shocks and struts are a common failure that can cause diagonal wipe on tires, the shocks and struts may not be leaking and still cause this condition. Shock and strut replacement is recommended at 50000 mi.
