Why do these things happen when it starts getting cold?

So just got home from vacation, start driving back to TO from Niagara Falls, and after a bit, I notice clunks, squeaks, thunks, and probably a couple other noises. They're pretty loud, and I can feel it on the floorboards.

The noises come when I start, sometimes when I stop, and definitely on bumps and speedbumps -- most of the time on bumps, but not always, which has me scratching my head.

Stuck my head under the car to check as much as I could visually and yanked on everything while on break at work, and everything seems solid. CV boots look good, what bushings I could see looked fine, and end links are snug.

Pushed down on the front quarter panel, and got a thunk noise on the passenger side when I compressed the suspension a bit. Did it again, and nothing happened. Tried 10 minutes later, and got a thunk again.

Blown strut sound like the culprit?

Want to try to get a few ideas before I put it up on stands to inspect it further.
