Hi

Does the cold weather affect the suspension with BC Racing BR coilovers?

Its been 0 to -5 celcius here in denmark the last few weeks, and ive noticed a softer (annoing) ride and a rattle going over bumps.. like the hub is loose.

Ive got new bearings, hubs, droplinks, lateral links and BC coilovers within the last 6 months.
And yes.. everything is bolted tight

Thanks

I had a rattling just after mine were fitted from the front drivers side, the big bolt under the adjuster had worked slightly loose so i nipped it up and its been fine. But i have noticed on the weekend a similar noise coming from the back passenger side now... Will have the seats out tonight to make sure everything tight!

Im not sure if its the right or left side, but i think its the passenger side on mine too.
Could it be the anti roll bar acting up?

As sovietspybob said above, try tightening up the large nut under the adjusters, mine had come loose a fraction, as I was getting a clonking noise when running over pot holes etc....alls good now.

On the cold side of things, the front end is squeeky when i first start my journey, but once the car has some warmth in it and the shocks have rebounded several times its fine....maybe more the bushes that are cold and need movement going through them.

Yeah i get squeaking on cold/damp mornings but its been the same with OEM shocks/springs and with my coilovers so im pretty sure its moisture in the bushes.
