Default Clanking noise rear left shock/strut assembly

I have 2006 Honda Accord with 38000 miles on it. Recently I hear a clanking noise in my rear left shock absorber whenever I hit a bump or pothole, both in high and low speeds.

Does the outside temperature matters? Because when the weather is warm, I dont hear it but when its cold I hear it.

I dont know what the problem is. Any suggestions/advice would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

there are a few things it could be. from a loose exhaust hanger to a loose mount point on the shock assembly itself. you need to get up under there and have a loook around. I wish I could be more help from afar

Check out the brackets on the rear sway bar.

So its got nothing to do with the outside temperature. I clearly see the difference with change in temperature.
