No, steering lock is a little pin that activates in the steering wheel when the key is removed and the steering wheel is then turned to 90 degree angle. Sometimes you need to jolt the steering wheel to the left and / or right whilst trying to turn the key in order to unlock it.
20 degrees on most cars is max turning angle
noise could be from a power steering pump under load
Take it to a steering specialist shop as there are other possible reasons for the problem
built into the brake pads is a small bit of metal that when the pads get to low to be safe , runs on the rotor and produces the squeal applying the brakes stops the vibration so the noise drops off
The vibration and rubbing may be separate issues. There could be many causes for vibration, ranging from low fluid, sticky rack valves, etc., to the tires simply grapping and releasing on the pavement. If it only does it under heavy use, such as when standing still and turning alot, then I suggest not doing that. It is hard on a car to turn the steering wheel when the car is not moving.
