anybody have this happen?

The last few sub -15celcius days, when I bounce out of a bump - and come down it's like dropping butt first onto concrete. Makes an awfull metal to metal sound. But only for the first five to ten minutes of driving. Then I can hit all the bumps I want - and my shocks work perfectly.

any ideas? do I have water that freezes in the shock?

when I push down on the car it still bounces with the springs - but I don't think the shocks are working properly.......

help my butt is getting sore.......

Man, I had the same issue in my old 86 626, it would get cold and the rear end would almost hop cause the suspnsion was frozen, i just swerved all over the place and it eventually went away.

hahah yah i used to have this problem. You most likely have a leaking strut. You get water in a strut, and it freazes the strut solid. My old mx-3 did this all the time, really freakin annoying.

Time for new sturts my friend.
