2002 Toyota 4-Runner has a rattle noise in the front end

For the last few months I've noticed that it has somewhat of a rattle noise in the front end on the passenger side, its worse when you first start it up, but once it warms up a bit it kind of fades, but you can still hear it. When its in park it makes the noise, and when I'm driving as soon as I take my foot off the gas it rattles too. I figured it was my heatshield, but I had that fixed. Then today I noticed that a hole rusted out on my skid plate, causing the skid plate to come off the bolts, which I had that fixed today as well. Its definately down by the passenger front tire, and when I popped the hood, you couldn't really hear it up in the motor. We checked the transmission fluid, and its pretty low, someone thought that that may be the problem, but wasn't positive. Do you think that if the transmission fluid is low, it will cause a rattle noise?
Any help would be great! I'm pretty tired of hearing this noise and not knowing what it is to fix it.

thanks for the info.
i don't know if it would have anything to do with the brakes, it doesn't seem to do it when i press on the brake. it kind of sounds like something loose hitting against something else, not saying thats what is happening, but thats the best way to describe it.
