This is exactly the issue, there are way too many pieces with the VA mount. I don't know why they have not switched suppliers as they don't make it in-house (get it from Kwik). There is way too much adjustment, shims, trimming etc. necessary to find the magic angle to get it to stop squealing. The design is the worst on the market.
