Hey, I had a whining rear on my 90 944s2 when I bought mine, but I figured it out... it was cause of non-use, previous owner had spent $$$$ and put few miles on it, so I figured run it and see if it quiets down, and after about a month of daily driving it shut up, started sounding quiet and nice. steering was a little stiff at first but she loosened up after use... and now 8 months later after driving daily it really feels great!! Sometimes I think people try to save their car from mileage as a collector or to save it... and in the process do more harm than good. I checked my rear end, ball joints and it is fine, was just inspected and told it was excellent shape. They are meant to be driven!! Yes you don't want to compound problems... but cars that sit do go bad from non-use.
Don't start a 944 for six months and the engine will rattle like hell... and do damage to the hydralic lifters from lack of oil. Brakes from non use will rust and sieze...so do bearing...get flat spots from sitting. If you just got it... pull the wheels and inspect the bearings, or run it a month daily and see if it still whines.
