Start by inspecting the brakes. If a front pad is loose, the rattle will stop when you apply a little pressure to the brake pedal.

You didn't mention that previously. The next thing to look at is steering and suspension parts. An inspection at a tire and alignment shop is in order. They'll look at ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, and especially anti-sway bar links and bushings. They can also "read" the tire wear to find clues to worn parts that affect the alignment.
