Squealing blower fan

just recently I've been running the blower fan on speeds 2 and 3, there's this faint, high pitched noise coming from the blower for most of my drives. the air is still blowing but could this mean the blower is about to give out soon?

Perhaps you need to oil the fan rotors?

Check out my second post on this thread: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....an+speed+noise

Does that describe the noises you're hearing?

Same problem here but it seems to be getting worse.
Humming noise only in 1 and 2 but most recently I started to
here it in 3. I will have to look at the blower and possibly
replace the blower cover. May have to waste a Saturday!
