I did a pretty thorough check and found the issue. It is the mounting shaft against the side that makes the sound. I will try to attach a link to the video I shot and a photo. I have a couple ideas on how to fix it, or minimize it to an acceptable level. I have some time this weekend and will share what I come up with.

Problem solved! Made a little setup out of two collars for shafts that I had. Bored the inside to a slip fit on one collar (#1) and a tight fit on the other (#2). Put both collars on the forward shaft where the mount is located, then tighten the spreader screws to take up all the slop and that's it. No slop, but I will test it over the next couple weeks and report back. If you guys are interested, I will throw some details together and post for anyone wanting and happy to walk you through it.

BTW - I like my solution much better than Ford's radiator hose bs.
