Ok, I'll start off by saying that I know all about the sway bar bushings/links, and they are definitely not my problem. I have greased, reseated, torque'd to spec, etc. those things like 3 times now, and they are definitely not what are causing my squeaks.
The squeaking comes from when I go over rolling bumps that cause my rear end to sway back and forth, so it sounds like it's being caused by flexing of the rear frame from side to side. It sounds like it's coming from a higher point than the wheels/sways. I've checked it out, and it SOUNDS like it's coming from the mount/bushing that sits at the top of the rear strut. The rear strut bolts into the top of the rear wheel well through some sheet metal. On the other side of the sheet metal is what appears to be a poly/rubber mount/bushing that actually is used to bolt the strut into place. My question is: have any of you had this problem before? I can't find this part on onlinemazdaparts.com for the life of me, and the squeaking is driving me INSANE! Please tell me how I can order this part! (bang)
