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

 

bump

 

My GMPP exhaust sounds raspy and sick when it's cold until the car warms up. Does that help?

 

i always warm up the car for a while before i drive when it's cold out. helps that out alot.

 

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.

 

ive heard the sway bar endlinks and the steering column joint make lots of noise

ive had the steering u joint replaced and lubed and its still loud when cold/wet weather

i am willing to bet better endlinks would cut down on the noise

 

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.

 

Its cold... WTF do u expect? Go out and buy a BMW and I bet even that will make noise. If u laid outside in the cold all night and tried movin around in the morning what kind of noises do u think u would make?

 

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"

 

Thanks for everyones responce's. Except ^.

 

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.
