Steering damper affected by cold?

[ca1ic0cat]

The past couple of evenings after work I've noticed that the steering has seemed very "loose" as I was leaving the parking lot and making the first few corners and then seems to tighten up after 5 miles or so.  It hasn't been very cold, about 40F.


Anybody else noticed this?  Thanks,

Logically you'd expect the reverse in cold weather.

Yeah, you would.  I wonder what's up.

I have just the opposite problem.  I'm in California (the States) and when I start off for work the temp is +/- 40f.  The steering is really stiff for the first few minutes, then seems to become normal.  I just figured it was the oil not liking the cooler weather.  --Steve
