2006 cold weather suspension noise

Luv my 06 but in cold weather, when I go over a dip in the road etc., I get clunky, squeaky noise. Only happen in cold weather, goes away when warmer ie 40's . Seems like it could be a strut or shock absorber. Anybody else have this ?

My 2nd SS , Needs strutts and shocks , at 23000 miles .
1st one had a third set at 35000 miles . Kinda sucks .
I plan to take it in at nite when it's freezing drop the keys in the box . so they test drive it at freezing temps . Sounds like it's falling apart when you hit a dip or bump in the road . I would have thought they would fix this in 4 plus years . Again i say , Worst thing is it will be fixxed with a defective part , multiply times untill it expires its warranty .

I still love it , Not sure why somtimes but i do .

My SS made that noise when I was up in Edmonton Alberta, it was -14 degrees, I think my knees were making a similar noise when I walked......

BTW....Welcome to the site gvander...

Had the same problem with our "06. Dealer replaced something THEY call an "Insulator" (Part #15822993) on the front end. Have an idea that's just a fancy name for the sway bar bushings? Anyway, the cold weather clunking went away.
