Ok so I brought my car into Luthers Mazda, and had them check out the squeaking. And suprise suprise they found nothing after they let my car sit in a heated garge for 90 mins before they went and test drove it. But they said I can bring it in Thursday and they'll keep it over night. I wonder if they can give me a p5 loaner :) They also had a vivid yellow Mazda 6 parked outside, very nice lookin. Anywho I just thought I'd share my experience.... and BTW what the point of making a 12:30 appt if they start to look at it around 2:00?
 
The squeeking you are hearing is from the rear anti-roll bar bushings. And it isn't really a suprise that they found nothing b/c they left it in a warm place so the bushings began to warm up and return to their normal size. The squeeking usually only happens when it gets cold. They a new rear bushing part number and it's on the board somewhere but I can't remember where. Also tell the dealership to look for a technical bulletin about it cuz there is one. If they try to tell you different get b****y with them b/c I know for a fact that there is one cuz I work at a mazda dealership. hope they fix it.
