makes noise only when turning and moving forward? sitting still and turning the wheel?

second part, does it try to crank?, nothing happen at first? can you hear the fuel pump? does all the electrical work when it doesnt start?

you turn the wheel and sounds like sticks breaking. Woa! Hows your balljoints look?
So does it sound like it's trying to fire up or you just the the starter turning. Can you hear the fuel pump buzzing? So when you turn the key the first time...nothing and no starter juice? Check the starter wires.

The hard start sounds like your losing pressure when shut down. Could be bed reg or a leak some where. And maybe even pump going out.
