Does your suspension feel different in hot weather?

It may just be me but I swear my car drives better when it's cooler/cold out.

Engine performance is one thing but the whole car (suspension specifically) feels different in warm weather. We've had some 90F days here and the truck is more floaty/harsh than when it's cold. The brake pedal response is differennt too.

Anyone else experience something similar?

I've owned my V8 4Runner since new. I experienced it with the stock suspension and with full aftermarket setup.
 
Maybe a little? It makes sense since the fluids are going to be considerably more viscous and won't flow through the dampers as readily. I can't say it's super pronounced for me, but it makes sense from a mechanics perspective.
