Default Weird/Odd noises from my S2000...

I have 3 odd noises from my S2000.

1) When turning the wheel left all the way slowly, I hear a slight creaking noise coming from the steering column.

2) When stopped and turning the wheel all the way left or right turn and then accelerating slowly, I hear a click noise(not clicking noise but just one click).

3) With the windows up and radio off, I start accelerating aggressively towards 7500-8500 rpms and I hear a slight metallic ringing noise, I don't know if it is related but my car has the tsb clutch buzzing noise from letting go of the throttle in gear. Also my exhaust is modified and has a regular pipe welded on instead of the OEM resonator.

Please let me know if you have experienced any of this or know what it is. Thanks!

Not sure about the first two...but the 3rd sounds like the 'shifter ringing'. There is a write-up on it somewhere stickied under the hood.

Fish22 picked the easy one.. that's not fair

Howmany miles on the car?
Lowered?
Wider wheels?
#1 & #2 could be just "normal" wear & tear & drying out of suspension bushings, etc.

29k miles, and its stock wheels/suspension. I just got the 30K mile service done a week ago.

Will check it, do you happen to have a pic of where the axle nut is?
