Whenever the temperature drops below 35 degrees, the front end of the car seems to just drop when driving over bumps, or other imperfections in the road. The problem never happens when it is warmer outside. What could be the cause of this? I've had the car since it was new and it happens every winter.

Suspect and have the front struts check and replace
also very common for the stabilizer bar bushing to fail and cause all kind of noises and sounds
