Weird Rattle

Ok so its not a steering wheel rattle....or the glove compartment...or the sunroof.......

My car has the most annoying rattle coming from what seems to be the front passenger side wheel well....it is consistent across all rpms and only happens if the steering wheel is straight or tilted to the right

across smooth surfaces the rattle is nonexistant, but at the slightest bump in the road the car will rattle unless the steering wheel is tilted to the left

What could possibly be causing a rattle that goes away with a 1 degree turn to the left in my steering wheel?

Airbag? Something in the suspension?
