Because the shop can't repair a vehicle that is operational, I will probably have to wait until is stays dead or someone responds to this forum with some ideas on what the cause may be.

My problem stopped after I took my trailer with a full load of wood down the road. Not sure if a rock had gotten wedged in the suspension or just what it was. But it is gone now.
I also jumped up and down on the bumper and was able to make it creak.
I would replace the struts, but there are also rubber mounts that might be the problem. I would hate to order the struts and replace when it's the mounts instead.
I just remembered something from many years back. I sprayed silicone all over the rear spring mounts of some old car and cured squeaks. I might try this on my truck.
It seem like Ridgelines have various problems and noises with both from and rear strut assemblies.
But it is a job that is finished and won't have too do it again for quite awhile.
My original tires have worn great, the best tires I've ever owned, but they are now 7 1 /2 years old, 53,000 miles and are getting noisy on the road. So, I'm getting close to replacing the tires, with the same Michelin as came on it. I think Michelin has slightly changed the tire name, but they still have a LTX MS and which seems to be the same tire and that is what I'm probably going to get.
My Questions are about the TPMS sensors in the wheels:
Has anyone replaced these?
Has anyone run the truck until the sensors' batteries 'wore out'? (I assume an error message or pressure warning would be set if the battery was drained.)
At almost 8 years old, should I just go ahead and replace the TPMS sensors when I put new tires on?
Has anyone bought aftermarket TPMS sensors and had problems or no problems?
(I've seen a comment the ones sold my Amazon will not actually 'communicate' with the truck and basically do not work.)
I do know the original sensors do NOT have to be 're-learned' with a specialized tool because I have rotated the tires myself and the truck will pick up the correct sensor location. I've had several low pressure warnings and it always pointed to the correct low tire.
Any help here would be appreciated.
