[QUOTE="Pat Freeman, post: 953930, member: 55026"] Gen2 V8 ST is almost 5 years old with 91k miles. During very cold weather, I noticed that it sounds like something in the front-end is rattling when I hit big bumps in the road. It's only during very cold weather and there is no feeling of this transmitted to the steering. It's just a lot of bumping/thudding and only comes when there are big bumps in the road. I'm assuming it's the fluid in the shocks, but if anyone else with a Gen2 ST had these symptoms, and it was something else, let me know. I go over the entire front end looking for any problems every oil change / tire rotation and everything is good and tight. FYI: It started doing this in June '10 when in MT one morning when it was cold but hasn't come back until these very cold temps hit MD a few weeks back. Thanks! Pat [/QUOTE]
