Whining starter

Whining starter
Another start up thread fellas, but my issue seemed different than the other ones I've found.
Basically, I turn my key and my starter would whine until it finally catches and cranks. I would have to twist the key for seconds until it starts though. Sometimes it would start faster than others, but would whine before starting regardless. RPMS and everything remain dead while this is happening until it catches. It IS coming from my starter. I took it out and regreased everything, but the problem still remains. When I took it apart I didn't see anything detrimental so I don't know if it needs to be replaced or not. Should I just replace it since the whining is the same even after regreasing it or is there something else that could be causing this? I guess I will check the cam sensor, but I cleaned it like 8 months ago. Thanks
