On the front sub frame, its common on older 9-5 for the right rear bushing of the sub frame to wear out and cause the sub frame to rub on the reinforcement plate that is bolted to the subframe at that right rear bushing.
you will usually get the noise when accelerating from a stop.
Its easy to check with the car up in the air. you can usually see if there is no clearance between the sub frame and the reinforcement plate. You can also compare the clearance to the reinforcement plate on the left side and if your still not sure just unbolt the reinforcement plate and check to see if there are any rub marks on the plate or the sub frame.
We've done sub frame bushings on 3 9-5s in the past month for creaking noise when accelerating from a stop.
Good luck, let us all know what you end up finding.
