I have a creaking sound but I was thinking it was coming from the seat or console. It could be the sterring column. I will listen closer.
It happens in most often during right hand turns.

I haven't noticed any in my Z. Hmm...

I have a squeaking noise coming from the steering column and it'd driving me nuts! I had it through the summer too, so not just a cold weather problem. I was too lazy to take care of it when it was warm, so I'll prob have to wait till spring to get a look at it and get it fixed.

If you (or anyone else) is having the same problem, I believe I found it. Reach behind the dash. There should be a circular piece of plastic back there in the middle, lining up with the Tach in the front. I found this to be loose, and the tapping stopped when I pushed it tightly back into the dash. It comes loose in about a second, so I'll have to get it checked out.
Hope this helps.

yeah...more of a rattle at steering column and the instrument panel area. Took it back to dealer last month and they got that fixed good. No big deal. Make sure you ask for a mechanic who's good at rattles and squeaks though, otherwise it would do you any good....been there done that.

Well creaking is very different from rattles and taps...
I had a creaking sound eminating from under the dash when I would turn left sometimes. I then realized it was actually my seat creaking when my weight shifted to make the turn. I'm not a fatass either.
Try pushing on your seat cushion in a few directions to see if you can reproduce it...that's what confirmed it for me. I'm dreading the dealership trip, but I got to make it for this, a bad rattle and a tire rotation.
