Sounds like crap when cold
Aside from the extra squeaks. Has anyone else noticed the suspension and overall ride qaulity fell like crap when its cold. Kind of like the car is much older than it really is

It sounds like a rusty bucket of bolts for the first 10 minutes with every bump you hit and then it's ok after that. Only when it gets to below freezing. During the summer it's fine.

Mine has a loud clunk from the right front suspension when it's real cold and I hit a big enough bump. One of these days I'll get around to fixing it, but I'm in no hurry since it isn't there all the time.

in cold weather conditions the metal tends to contract...thus leaving less clearance for parts and such to slide like they are supposed to...grease gets sluggish because the molecules slow down and they will be almost "frozen" it's just basic science...nothing to fix...just drive it...the designers and engineers have thought of these things and if you just take it easy and don't completely run it into the ground you will be fine...after driving the friction of the parts moving will warm them up enough that they will be back to "optimal"

my girlfriend is the same way, she has to warm up a little.
but seriously, thats always going to happen.
the only bitch I have is my clutch likes to squeak when its cold. thats an easy fix but I haven't gotten around to doing anything about it.
