Car shutters when cold
 

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anybody else has experienced a shuttering of the car when it is cold outside and you first get up to around 55-60 mph while the car is still fairly cold (running less than a minute or so). It only lasts about 20-30 seconds and goes away so I am guessing it is either something to do with the engine warming up, or maybe the suspension (eibach springs) which causes the bearings to do this??, or possibly because of my su rear mount. Its not really a serious problem just sort of annoying. I dont think it is a wheel weight issue because it did it with my stock wheels as well.

Have you tried to let the car warm up first and then drive it? I know my car sounds like a big pos when it's really cold outside before it warms up. I have not experienced shuttering other than noise inside the car.

yea i always remote start it and let it run for at least ten minutes in the morning before i go anywhere

I get this as well and im on stock suspension and recently put on new tires and rims...same result. It feels like the tires arent balanced until I drive a few miles. I added it to the list of annoying things on my car.

Then it isn't exactly cold now is it? lol.

I let mine warm up for about a minute then get on the freeway, i've never felt that shutter sound you described, but it could be suspension related..

I was talking about the suspension and motor mounts etc I know it's not engine related

My car has developed what feels like an unbalanced wheel since it has gotten extremely cold here. I actually haven't checked to see if I lost any wheel weights, but its worst on the interstate at 65-70 - the car shudders pretty noticeably, although the steering wheel has no shuddering.

Does it go away? if it doesn't, then its a different problem than what we are experiencing

It comes and goes. I need to bring the car to the tire place and have them recheck the balance, though. I'm hoping that's all the problem is.
