The expansion and retraction of different materials at different temperatures. This creates a situation where two different materials expand at different temps and end up rubbing against each other (very simplistic explanation) Driving the car hard when cold places even more stress on those "tight" "cold" components.

If they are both up to operating temps theyll both be at their largest and will operate as designed with correct tolerances.
