Front end noise in cold weather

[SonicCalgary]

I have read most of the threads hear regarding front end noise. But I can't find anything that comes close to mine, and I would take it in to the dealership if I had the time. Noticed this last winter, 2012, just after I bought it. When it got to -15 or colder, there is a groaning noise coming from the front end when I turned right. I attributed it to the cold, and although annoying and a little embarrassing as it's quite loud, it went away as the trip continued. After the spring came, I had totally forgotten about it. Now this year it's doing it both left and right turning, and does not go away.

It's not a strut or shock thing, as it doesn't do it when I go over bumps or potholes. It's strictly a steering thing, and it's not a squeal or a whine, but sounds like a really loud creaky door.

Anyone else experiencing this during the cold weather?

I have heard it in the cold weather 20*f ish or below. Never had the time to bring it in though.

Just noticed this today on the highway. I contributed it to the 1/8" of ice all over my car as I've never heard it before.

I believe mine does the same that you are describing. I run a set of blizzak's in the winter, and was thinking they were the culprit... Never had a problem while on OEM setup since I got it, but every winter the noise comes back. Do you run winter treads at all?
