During the recent cold spell here in the northeast, my V90 has really begun to groan and creak, especially loud from the rear. It happens on the city streets that aren't in great shape. It does seem to subside as the car is driven, but mostly as it warms up outside. Today is in the thirties so I will see what happens this morning.

My immediate thought was these fiberglass leaf springs get wacky when cold. My mechanic friend in Illinois suggested that his also creak a bit during winter. This however is not, in my opinion, just a 'little creaking.' It is loud and something I would not expect from a car of this price range. Any other items I should look for the next time it's up on the lift?
