►The cold weather is harsh enough as it is; all those extra squeaks, bumps, and clunks suddenly coming from your vehicle are the last thing you need. While those symptoms mean you have parts ready for replacement, you're certainly not alone in this experience. Rubber is strongly affected by the cold, so the lower temps drop, the more noise they'll likely make. In other instances, the chilly temps can exacerbate previous flaws in the rubber, leaving you with much more prominent fluid or vacuum leaks.

Luckily, the science behind the phenomenon is very straightforward, and understanding it can save you precious time and money in the future. If you want to rid your car of those cold weather clunks, follow along with FCP Euro's Mike Hidalgo as he explains what's making the noise and why it's happening.
