A major source of minor discontent was an intermittent squeak from the front end. Very loud, like sway bar bushing loud and seemed to follow the sway bar movements.
It took a while to find it.

The kydex plastic grained texture frame that surrounds the radiator and holds the opening end of the ac vent tubes was rubbing in the upper right corner. You'll know if yours is rubbing due to a shiny spot on the offending metal. Mine was a tiny spot, 1/4" in diameter.

Fixed the air leaks between the kydex and the radiator frame by using foam tape. It'll be covered with aluminum angle when I finish the shroud.

I'm working on a full front shroud that ties the radiator to the grille opening disallowing air into the fender wells from the grill.

Screwed the top of the kydex to the radiator frame while I was in there. It flopped like a fish, now it doesn't. Required a special tool to get in there. It's the first pic showing two screws I now have, and didn't before

Picture is the tool I used to access the hatefully tight places with flathead #2 self tappers.
The tool is a shortened version of one with the same head at a big box store.

Middle pic is sideways. Rotate 90 clockwise. It's the upper right, passenger side, of the kydex frame.
