Very high pitch noise when extruder moves x axis.

I've used machine oil on both of x axis rods already. If anyone knows why this happens, I'd like to know the solution. Thanks.

Try slightly loosening the screws holding the extruder to the X carriage.
The bearings may be held in a slightly cocked position.

Nope.  The screws on the backside of the extruder.
