4 times in the past 2 months they have tightened all the nuts and bolts in the rear suspension because of this clunking sound I get on most bumps.

Don't forget your dealing with two very extreme temperatures changes causing contraction and expansion.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It is about 35 here and I have noticed that my interior sounds like it's coming apart, and my suspension feels really loose. All the windows creak, the cluster housing creaks, and the A and B pillars creak including the trim piece that runs from one side to the other under the rear window.
Actually the dealer is at a loss for why my rear suspension keeps getting loose.

For a couple weeks after they tighten everything up my car feels, and drives so awesome that I don't want to get out of it....then suddenly almost overnight I get back in the car and it feels and drives like a piece of s**t.
Really bumming me out
I just got home from a night out and it's 18 degress F right now. Didn't hear any different noises than usual. Now, in cold weather, the tires will not grip as well and the sidewalls are not as stiff. This may be what you are feeling.
Ya know............ it must be awsome to have that kinda weather pretty much all year round. Driving the car all year............
Don't get me wrong I love the four seasons but............I think I'm just having withdrawls until I can take my honey out in the sping. Happens every year!!
As for the colder weathet question.........when it hits, most cars perform a bit more sluggish than usual. The oil takes longer to circulate, the engine takes longer to reach operating temperature, and your car battery may not have its full charge. Don't forget your dealing with two very extreme temperatures changes causing contraction and expansion. Your bound to get noises you haven't heard before. Happens all the time. Unless of course you live in San Diego
Then again I'm certain earthquakes will make your car rattle even more then extreme temperature changes.
Cheers and safe driving.
Have not had a good quake since, I can't remember...1986 quake made me bounce off the hallway walls.....
A few little ones but no majors in a long time!
