Hopped into my leggy this morning after a cold night and found the car to bang when i hit any bump on the road also when i brake the car wobbles. The problem seemed to be coming from the rear passanger side.

It feels like the shock was frozen or seized. The car was driving perfect 12 hours ago. No flat tyre or evidence someone hit the car. any idea what it could be.

Also, if the suspension is goosed any recomend some upgraded shocks and springs or coilovers?/help

a lump of snow or ice attached to the wheel will put it way out of balance and cause wheel wobble massively. happento me after doing a bit of snow drifting.

The oil in a damper could be alot thicker due to the extreme temperature, which would make the damper alot slower to react when it needs to do it's job.
