Default Radiator fan question

I have mild squeaking noise coming from radiator area , tried spinning the radiator fan manually and here we go it is 100% the fan. I' m curious what component of the fan could be the one that chirping. I thought may be somebody had same problem and can point me to the right direction before I take it apart.
Thanks

It has been a while since I posted this, but i still have same problem. I went to dealership couple weeks ago and the mechanic looked at the fans, ran them at high speeds and said that they were fine. like I said it still squeaks but as long as it does not affect performance it does not bother me.

Thanks for the update. I can live with the little squeak since it only happens for a couple seconds after I shut off the engine. I did a decent amount of searching and couldn't find anything else on CF about this issue. If this was a common problem that resulted in catastrophic failure, I'm thinking there would have been a thread or two....
