Noisy Suspension on MS3

[fullout83]

I live in Winnipeg Canada and it gets cold, really cold. I have no problem starting my car but when im driving the suspension is very noisy. Does anybody else have this problem or is it my suspension thats bad. In the summer it does not make noise only in the cold. My Gfriend has a Mazda3 and her ride is very clean and does not make any noise compared to mine.

Its not just you,When it gets around 0 degrees out my front suspention makes alot of noise.I dont know what it is (dunno)...And I only think my car has done it when its left outside in the weather like when Im at work and go to leave.

Ditto, but only when it's severely cold out; like 15* and under. I think it's just the springs (sounds like springs) being quite chilled. It goes away after a little bit of driving and the car warms up. I know it's not the linkage or whatever the one issue was, I've had that checked. Just coldness I guess. Frankly, I'm sick of the damn pressure monitor light. My tires aren't low. Grr.

I test drove one at the dealer about three weeks ago in 25 degree weather. It sounded like my two year old was banging a bunch of pots with a spoon. I commented to the dealer about this and he thought it was due to the car just sitting unused on the lot. After reading all the posts on here about he noise, I think it's 'normal' for the MS3 to make noise in cold weather - however unpleasant.

Same problem here, sounds like I'm dragging something everytime I go over a good sized bump from the front of the car.
