Bumpy ride?

So i've noticed with the cold, that my front end feels weird after start up -

feels like i've got a flat, or something along those lines whereas my front end is really bumpy (like the tire is lopsided and you can feel it going up and down, similar to a flat tire, but the tires are fine) for the first couple of miles of driving - its not the tires, they are all properly inflated - i'm afraid it may be something in the suspension. It goes away after it warms up, so i guess i shouldnt be too worried, but i'm coming up on the end of my warranty and I dont want something to go wrong as soon as i hit 36000miles... anyone have a similar problem? or have any clue what may be causing this? should i even be worried?

Its probably just flat spots in the tires, some tires are much more sensitive to this than others.

It "could" be a strut out of spec in some way and the cold causes it to have incorrect damping until it warms up.
