Default Center Console Squeak

I have been getting this constant squeak that I think is coming somewhere from the center console. I cannot seem to pinpoint it. It seems to gets worse with the oscillations in the road. I have a link to a video of it here. I tried pushing on the center console to see if it would change the squeak and nothing. My car is a 2004 with 40,000 miles on it. Has anyone had a similar squeak to this and know of a fix?

That 15-second clip didn't feature any squeaks that I could hear. Reloaded it and turned up the sound and still could not hear anything. In any case, this is not a common problem with the Z33 center console, so I doubt you'll get many suggestions. My suggestion is to keep an open mind and check under the car for loose hardware or worn bushings.

Also, don't post the same question in multiple forums. This forum for repairs and maintenance is best for this type of question.

Oh that was my fault, I meant to delete that because I do realize this is the correct forum for this and got side tracked with work. I will delete that now if it wasn't already.

Maybe it's just me and my OCD but all I am hearing is the squeaking so I am not sure how you aren't able to hear it, it's decently loud and consistent. Anybody I've shown the video to said that the squeak is very loud. Anyway, I did see that a possible thing that can happen is the motor mounts tend to squeak after a while. One way that the poster said he diagnosed this was by jumping on his driver door sill and shaking the car to reproduce the noise. I did this and nothing happened. I will take your advice and look through any bushings and maybe apply some lithium lubricant here and there.

Hi, I seem to have the same problem as you
The sound seems to come from the gear lever, have you solved it?
