Also make sure the bolts on the rear sway are tight. My rear sway made a clukcing noise for a while until I realize the bolts between it and the endlinks were loose.

Did someone borrow your car while you were gone? That might explain something...

too cold to check air pressure?? never
if your tires are down to 30 or less psi the tires wont absorb as much shock from the bumps and if you hit a pot hole you can bend a rim.
all tires have hot and cold settings just do some research.
