Good point. I've seen significant tire temperature changes just driving down the road when the sun is shining on one side. l

Follow up from my post. After two weeks I am happy to report that most of the creaking jack noise has gone away. I am still getting infrequent pops from my rear passenger jack. I'm going to continue to monitor. I'm optimistic it just needs to work through the system a bit more with a few more moves.
