Is this also one of my issues? Were the tire pressures too high creating too much heat?

Will "pulling the pins on the top mounts" create any issues for my DD set of wheels & tires, warranty when I go in for service, etc.? Also, can you direct me to a DIY thread on how this is done, or whether a shop needs to perform the work?
See picture. I circled the pins in red.

You would simply undo the three nuts that hold your top mount to the strut tower, and then move the strut slightly to remove the pin. Should be a fairly easy job. It should not affect your warranty/service.
