Unhappy Front squeak

I am trying to locate a squeak i have been getting on my front right side. I can hear it when ever i hit a bump and i am also hearing it when i am turning. When i am turning i an only really notice it like when i am in a drive-thru. I tried to locate it last night by tearing into that side but i was unable to replicate the noise. It will only make the noise after i have been driving for 5-10 minutes. What could be the possible culprits i should be looking at? A part of my thinks i should replace the part i have in the link below. And FYI the car is a 2007 Mazda Mazda6 2.3L MFI DOHC 4cyl. I did spay the entire area down with WD-40 when i was done and the squeak was less notice able but still there.

Common problem is the lower arm, the straight 1 not the curly 1.

Question 2006 mazda 6 front suspension squeak

HELP my 06 mazda 6 left front suspension squeaks. Sound can be repeated when pushing down on front end always comes from the drivers side. Squeak comes from front suspension components not caliper. Can't dial sound in if it's strut, tie rod end, swing arm bushings ext. Any ideas?

Most likely the lower arm bushes followed by lower ball joints.
