My car was in a front-end collision and repaired. Recently, I've been hearing a rattle coming from the right front tire when turning right (at any speed). There is some rattle when going straight (usually at about 40mph) and no appreciable rattle when turning left. Possibly related is the fact that the ABS light has been turning on and staying on. What could this be?

First thing you will have to do is scan the ABS system for the code.

After that you will have to get a front end check over done. It may be a wheel bearing, loose backing plate or splash shield, bad tire, etc.
