Last week I started noticing noises like 'clank' coming from under the car when I was driving on an unsurfaced road. I heard the same noise when I was going to park up on a ramp. On a normal surfaced road there are no sounds at all, at least I can?t hear them. Also I think that the sound is easily heard when the car gets warmer. I can?t see anything loose or anything leaking underneath. The exhaust seems ok.
What could cause such a noise?
Any thoughts?
For your info last week we had temperatures from 44 C to 46 C and I was on AC all day all week.

Noise eliminated.
I started shaking the car: from the rear-nothing, from the front-nothing. Finally when I started shaking the car from the side (holding the roof rack) the noise came up. So the source had nothing to do with the shock absorbers but with the anti roll bars. With the valuable help of a lubricant spray (like WD-40) on the joints of both front and rear anti roll bars, the annoying sound of squeaking is gone.
