While you have the axles out, I would definitley look at the condition of the innerdrivers. If they have been exposed to the elements, especially for quite sometime, them most likely the needle bearings have begun to pit the driver. I recently had to replace my pass side driver because the grease boiled out of it, joint overheated, and the boot basically just split apart exposing the joint. While on my way to the shop, the driver's side outter joint blew and spun grease all over. Well after he pulled the wheel apart, found that the joint was binding somehow. Well since I had both axles replaced less than a year ago; so I had a new replacement in order.
Far as the whining, it MAY be your CV joints. Although I've never heard of them really whining, they may depending on how worn they are. Mostly loud clicking when turning is the key sign of bad joints.
Not really familiar with ball joints or tie rods, but in my experience, if they are worn at all, go ahead and replace them! Espeically if you are going to tear all this other stuff off, replace it. It will set your mind assured for a while.
