Check your power steering fluid, , , more pronounced when you turn the wheel... fluid could be low... no? ... could have a shorted diode in the alternator.

You changed the battery because your car was whining? What kind of reasoning is that? As the other poster suggested, you should make sure you have enough power steering fluid. If it's not that, it's probably a bearing, either in an idler pully or the alternator. It's not an emergency just yet.
thanks guys, i need all the advice that i can get!! ill check the fluid and if thats not it, ill check the alt. thanks again
