Check out my earlier posting #380. For me, it wasn't a creaking sound, but more of a "thunk". In any event, the dealer replaced the strut assembly (under warranty) and all was well. It seems like these assemblies are trouble.
 
Good luck.

I FOUND RUST ON MY 07 RIDGELINE by jcglen

I don't mean to be a complainer/cry baby.
Putting gas in one day I noticed that there is RUST in the lower seam of the compartment where the inner metal boot that the gas tank fill tube is in meets the outer body. Now this is a seam where two metals over lap one another, I would think welded together I don't know.
I took it to the body shop for some answers and they said to do it properly the whole quarter panel would need to be replaced because of the thin metal used in the body. At the same time they asked if I had taken it to the Honda dealer....DUR I felt like a total dip. So my next stop was the dealer pulled into service was greeted by one of the service manager's and showed him the situation nicely. Just so happens there was a Honda reagonal rep there so he came out to look took pictures then returned to the office. The service mgr came back to inform me that honda will fix the problem probably by grinding it down and painting it. This might look good now but what are the chances of it returning again, and if it does what would be my options then.
 
So I have two questions:
 1. Is grinding the way to go? Or try to push for proper panel replacement.
 2. Should Honda loan me a loaner car to get to work and back?
 
This my transportation truck to work and after all it's not my fault the truck started rusting. I don't know I'm just a man of principle I guess.
