Why do you think you have a starter problem? What's are your symptoms?

Most likely your battery is "circling the drain". I would have it checked, and if necessary - replaced.

Starters do one thing....Crank the engine. If your engine is cranking, then you don't have a starter issue. I'm assuming it's cranking since you said "cranking noise".
