    Greaseable swaybar bushings should take care of most of the noises, it completely fixed my squeeks.

    They can be ordered at any 4 wheels parts.

    The hood latch was another common source of squeeks for many of us. I fixed mine by wrapping the catch with self-fusing rubber tape. Also, my glove box door squeeked until I added extra pads to the bump stops. 113,500 miles and NO squeeks, rattles, or leaks. Gotta love the VX.

    "113,500 miles and NO squeeks"

    Of course when you use a feather duster on it every time a speck of dirt shows up - it should last forever

    DEFINITELY
    If you have a squeak from the front, this is a simple and proven fix. The bushings are also a good idea. Easy fix.
    Neither unfortunately cured my high speed whine from the rear, but as I mentioned earlier, I will live with that until it gets obnoxiously loud. For the original post, it sounded more similar to that noise.
