Cold morning suspension

Topic starter

I have a 2013 Cadillac CTS. On days when the outside temperature is below about 35 and I hit the speed bumps or other bumps I hear a noise from the front suspension. It is almost a rubbing sound when the front of the car goes up ang down. Once the temperature goes up the noise stops. Shocks.? Struts? Or bushings.

Thanks

All of the above 🤣 🤣 🤣 

Often, it is in the rubber bushings. 

I think you can spray them with lithium grease or silicone. 

Hopefully, someone else will chime in with a safe product recommendation.

Agree with Carlos, usually rubber bushing issue. Not too serious, maybe try Blaster Lube, Crc Silicone lubricate (WalMart), or maybe WD-40 Gel lubricant. If you're getting into high miles and bushings need replacement, polymer bushings are advertised as being quieter and longer lasting.
