Cold weather clunking

[smalltown]

Lately with the cold weather my daily driver a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has been clunking on these terrible roads.
I replaced my shocks, sway bar bushings, sway bar end links, tires, and rebuilt all the calipers 6,000 miles ago and it has been running great and quiet.

If I hadn't replaced the shocks I would have said I need new shocks as the noise seemed to come from all four corners depending on the bumps I drove over.

So I wondered does the cold air affect shocks? Yesterday and today we are having a temporary warm up, and the clunking has disappeared.
Truck rides really nice now.
Pretty sure these are KYB nitrogen filled shocks.

My sisters camry with only 54,000 miles on it broke the end of a coil spring last week. Coincidentally, in was -12 plus last week.

my 05 Saturn Vue had a clunk in the strut when it was warm/hot outside. in cold winter months it didn't make a sound

Ok I guess I need to wait for Spring. Come on Spring!

If it’s pretty cold out it’s probably nothing to worry about. Sounds normal for almost every vehicle I’ve had.
