Well it only took me a month to get the time to really spend some quality time with my VX checking things out. To be truthful I have been putting it off due to work and traveling alot. The heater fan motor was whining like crazy and totally annoying me so I ripped it out and lubed the crap out of it so it would stop making noise, after completing that task I figured I should take the time to find the squeak under the hood.

I popped the hood and greased the latch (just in case) and greased the rubber contacts or bumpers for the hood (again just in case). I didn't think that those were the culprits so I started methodically shaking different engine parts trying to find a squeak. Radiator moved some but didn't make a sound, battery was tight in the box, engine wouldn't move much and didn't make a noise, and the fuse box was secure. Then I thought of shaking the air intake, squeak, squeak, squeak. Ah ha, it turned out to be the mount holding the intake assembly from sagging onto the wheel well. I have to mention that I have a K&N cone filter so this won't be a problem for anyone running the stock air box. I used an exhuast hanger used for heavy-duty trucks, mounted it upside down to hold the intake up. It has a rubber mount that keeps the metal to metal from touching and making noise, also to stop vibration. Well the rubber mount was squeaking against the metal hanger, so I just lubbed it up and now it's quiet too.

It's so much better driving without annoying squeak and squeal sounds.
