This sounds more like a loose or worn out end and a bushing noise, especially at the rear

This needs to be inspected at a tire and alignment shop. The people there are experts at finding the causes of noises, pulling, and bad tire wear patterns. This is especially critical with Ford front-wheel-drive cars as they have more trouble with steering and suspension parts separating than most other manufacturers. A light metallic rattle usually isn't a serious safety issue, but you want to know for sure. A separated ball joint or tie rod end can send you into the ditch or oncoming traffic.
