I installed my new RC 4"lift with 2.2 shocks in January. It was really cold, about -20 Celsius, and the shocks were very very stiff; like driving a tank

I noticed that when the weather is warmer, the shocks are softer.

Today, it was the first hot day of Spring, and the shocks are perfect. Just like my old Rubi shocks.

Am I dreaming or the shocks are softer when the temperature is getting warmer?
If yes, how is it possible?

 

I've noticed this as well.

 

Does someone have the answer ??? :confused:

 

My guess would be the fluid viscosity increases in cold weather.

 

Makes sense..

 

X2 and the fluid thickness will not pass through the orifices readily.

 

You are probably right. In very cold weather, I have to put my tires to 26 PSI when I drive on the horrible streets of Montreal !!!
