Front end makes lots of sqeaking/creaking when it's cold outside
I had my Maxspeeds installed a while ago, and I am unhappy with some of the sounds I am hearing. They usually don't make any sound, unless it's cold outside. It's been cold for a few days, and even going over a manhole cover on the road will make the front end squeak!
Also, when turning my wheel, there is a creaking sound. I posted a few weeks ago and was told that it is probably just strut bearings. I haven't done anything about that yet, and it's getting worse, so I should probably fix it. Again, it only makes that sound whne it's cold outside.
I searched the forums, and the general feeling is that if your springs are making noises, they were installed wrong. But if they are only making sqeaks when it's cold outside, could they really be installed wrong? What do you think the problem could be?
Any help would be great.

I have the same problem with my B&G's, I think its just cause the metal is so dang cold man. Thats all I can think of, its just really cold.....haha.
Mine doesnt do it that bad though, its not like just little bumps, its not even teh springs really, I guess its more of the frame and what not, I dont seem to think its anything but that since its colder the frame is more ridgid?
