It is driving me freakin crazy What do I need to do/use to get rid of this problem?? Take fan unit out and oil it? Or are they a bearing unit?

It sure does heat up when the fan is on... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68731-squeeky-fan-unit/#findComment-1007795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
