When I first pull my 2000 9-3 base out of the driveway on a cold morning and go from driveway to curb (a little bump), I get a clunking sound from what seems to be the rear suspension. Sometimes it sounds like the front. It happens after the car sits at work for 12 hours, too. It's been between 0 and 20 degrees F here in Cleveland the past week or so.
At first I thought the SAS sawbar may be bumping around unfastened. Although since it only happens once when I first move the car, and it seems to happen in different corners, I think it's a frozen suspension component breaking free of ice or internal problems. It doesn't tend to happen when I pull into parking lots or anything else once I've driven the car. Has anyone experineced something like this?
