I first noticed in the '05 MPV a slight crunchy noise when the front suspension would unload after going over a bump at speed, say when you are cruising through a green light, but there's something of a dip where the cross street goes through the intersection. Now it seems to occur more frequently, but it's nothing but a noise at this point. Is this a case of squeaky bushings, or something else? MPV has maybe 33k miles on it.

No. Not at all. It's more like a rubber on metal kind of rubbing or squeak, but not a squeak, more of a grunt. |
as per mazda extranet when i searched "crunch front bumps", basically the front swaybar bushings are probably shot. if its under warranty tell them you hear a squeaking going over bumps and a seperate clunking kind of noise from the front, theyll give you new links and bushings.
