82 300D: Rattle coming from the front left wheel area during right hand curve

So I'm getting on the freeway today, giving full acceleration through 40-50 mph while going through a slight right hand curve on the onramp. While the steering wheel is slightly turned to the right, I hear a noise coming from the front left wheel area. It's a rattle, and sounds somewhat like empty aluminum soda cans being jostled around in a bag. Once I returned the wheel to the straight ahead position, the noise went away.

I can't produce the sound during left turns, just right turns and right curves, and only during acceleration. Over the weekend, I'm going to put the car on jackstands and take a look to see if anything is loose or worn, but in the meantime, does this sound like something anyone else has experienced?
