Question about what's going on. I don't know what is causing this other maybe the cold weather cause at night it's been in the 20's and some nights lower than that but I'm running stock shocks with Eibach Pro Kit and stock everything else but at night when I get in and start down the road and hit bumbs, the car feels like I'm riding in a Honda with a set of coilovers. Like it's all bouncy but after I get like 5-10min. down the road, it's like it quits bouncing around and the ride feels normal again. But say if I get in it during the warm part of the day, it doesnt do it. Only at night when everything has cooled off on the car and has been sitting for a couple hours. It has never done this before untill this winter and I've had this set up for about a year and a half now. I'm wondering if its just because of the cold weather or the shocks going bad or a combination of both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's a problem that we northerners deal with all the time in the winter. When stuff gets cold, EVERYTHING stiffens up and/or shrinks a little....shock oil, rubber bushings, suspension pivot bolts, body mounts, the tires.....
Right now, where I'm at, it's 14 degrees and snowing. If I were to go out and fire up the 4x4 to go to the store (which I have to pretty soon), it will creak and groan like a *****, and ride like a buckboard for a while, yet in the summer, it's actually pretty quiet and smooth riding, for a truck.
