Front right end rattling noise any ideas?

Maybe this was something that is common, but I really haven't seen anything covering these symptoms as its kind of odd to me.
I've isolated it down to the front right of the car, looked under the hood for rattling, looked at the wheel well, nothing obvious. Its been getting slightly louder, enough for me to start worrying something bad is happening.

Here's the odd thing, it usually only happens when I put her in reverse, I even had help searching for it while in reverse, but nothing visual can be seen. As soon as I step on the brake it stops too.
This does not to my notice ever happen when in drive position and shifting either. I don't want to bring it to my stealer without any idea if this is serious or just something loose.

there's a lower control arm recall on 00-01. call the dealer and give them your VIN number to check if your car is under that recall. Had mine replaced under the recall.

I believe there is a TSB for the front right strut. I had a clunking sound there, although it was only prevalent at 30+ mph and bumps. That isn't exactly what you're describing, but I'll thow it out there.
