Default Blazer's Whining

Hey guys,

I'm having a whining issue. Whenever I turn, mostly when it is a relatively sharp turn, there is a whining going on. I checked my power steering fluid and it's fine. Any other reasons for the whine? Is there something caught up?

Power steering can whine when fluid is full.
Thing is.. sorta easy to tell if that's what it is. If it does it when you turn steering wheel while you're parked.. it's almost certainly power steering.
If it doesn't, it isnt.

It could be wheel bearing.

Yeah, the rear wheel bearings just got replaced. And the front are starting to make "the sound." So they will have to be replaced soon. And my cv joint is clicking which is never good. All of these issues at once. Wowzers! But going back to the whine? I know my power steering is fine. A wheel bearing can cause this issue? Hmmm... Most likely is that.
