mystery rattle please help!
 
I bought this car a few months back, and never heard this rattle during the test drive. It is killing me because I've spent countless hours trying to diagnose what the issue is..


Things to note about this rattle..
1) It only happens in Drive, while idling, never park or reverse. And goes away if I turn the wheel left or right (increasing RPM)
2) Only happens when the car is fully warmed up. Cold starts are fine no issues at all with that
3) It is coming from the passenger side fender area (I think, maybe windshield?)
4) The carfax states that there was "Damage to front," and when I removed the bumper a piece of the shock absorber was broken, so I know it's been damaged/repaired at some point
5) It runs 100% completely fine. There is no CEL or other issues to note.

If anyone has ANY idea what it is PLEASE let me know. Thank you

6) The AC being on/off has no effect on it
7) It goes away immediately when I apply any pressure to the gas pedal
