Springs creak in cold weather???????

I recently re-lowered my car and up herer at school it has been getting down into the teens and we have had more snow then ususal. My front right strut assembly is creaking or making a noisy when like you hit a dip or something and it bounces. I have gold-lines. I was just wondering if maybe I have sand or salt up in there or if I just need to take it apart and put it back together( i really don't want to go have it aligned again, but it could be my excuse to use the SPC camber bolts) or will it go away once it gets warmer?? Thanks

mine creak to. but only for a little while. once they warm up its all good. its just the metal flexing. nothing to worry about.

I think just about everything on the car creaks a little bit more when it is in cold weather. It should go away when the temperature goes up if the creaks are due to just the cold weather.

phew, on my way up to school it was 20 degrees and everytime I hit a bump my front was making sounds. I thought some bolts had loosened up, but hopefully its just the weather [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

With all this cold I think everything creaks. I hate it. it has been going down to about -20 C (-2 F) here at night, and I am sooooo tired of it. I cant wait for spring.

good to hear it is normal. i just got my goldlines installed a week ago last saturday and they are creaking every once in a while. but it is freezing here in pa so i guess that is why.

Mine sqeaks too. I am in Toronto, Canada. I only notice this when it is the winter season here. It starts when it gets below 10 degree Celcius here. It is now -15 degree Celcius here with the wind chill. Is that cold enough for you?
