cold weather suspension

[blackedcoupeLE]

i have a 94 camry le coupe 2.2L

the past couple days it has been really cold, and when i first start driving it literally feels like i have no rear suspension, i feel every little bump in the road and when i hit a bump i nearly break my back. but after about 20-30min driving it is completely fine...anyone have any ideas on what it could be? I thought it might have something to do with the air in the tires being really cold, or my shocks are freezing overnight?

its pretty cold out here in michigan right now btw

"Square tires" after sitting in cold used to be a big problem. It seems like newer tires are not as bad but some thump at - 40 is normal. It usually lasts only a couple of minutes

yeah i know what your talking about... when i get out of work, my rear suspension (im pretty sure its the stab links) acts up and makes some noises but after a couple bumps and turns, it goes away... i also noticed it when its raining...... its like when your drum brakes squeek after it sat for a while....

yea its like 25-35 in the day and (i'm guessing here) 10-20 at night

its really annoying and it lasts for quite a while after driving...oh well

hmmm, It's been down to -10 or so everynight for the last week here, and I've never had that happen.

I know I have a bad stabilizer link in the rear which is causing noise on bumpy surfaces but it stays . It is made worse in the cold weather & running over frozen slush & snogs. Do you have snogs in Michican? SNOG= Snow & grit from wheel wells dropping on the road.

yea...right now its crazy out b/c it snows, then melts, then freezes over so everything has a thick layer of ice...its sucks

yeah, my front drivers side strut creaks when its cold until it warms up. but im not worried, i dont like cold mornings either.
