All of the sudden since its gotten colder outside, I've noticed that my car has gotten a lot looser feeling.

Does the colder weather effect this?

 

What do you mean by "looser" feeling?

 

I have noticed that in below-freezing temps, my shocks seems to resist movement more than usual until they warm up a bit. I believe it is a function of the oil viscosity.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. "Looser"?

 

The car rolls more. It feels like it wants to flip on me.

Tire pressure is perfect. It's all of the sudden, too.

 

didnt kno that sounds interesting

 

I would make sure you don't have a blown strut/shock... this happened to me with my Nissan. I put KYB GR2 in afterwards and i neveer noticed a difference between hot and cold days. I live in New England and it gets cold, i've never had issues with temp.

i notice the same

 

its probably cause your tires arent getting as warm as they were in the warmer weather....

 

More than likely, that's it. Cheap oil = low VI = big changes with changes in temperature; think honey.

Not sure if that is the OP's problem though.

 

That, and all-season tire compounds will harden in cold weather.

 

my type flex's seem to stiffen up noticably in the cold.

 

My car feels like a giant rattle-box on wheels when it's below 20's.
