Hi, I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and when I drive it has a loud rattling noise sounding like coming from the driver front wheel. When I turn right the sound goes away, but when I'm going straight or making a left turn the sound appears again. Any thoughts on what it might be?

My 2000 Grand Cherokee had a rattle too. It was the front shock bushings, I decided to replace all 4,and for good measure the sway bar end links. It was definitely time as the shocks were about 9 years old and the end links were original. Did it last year. No more rattling. Another thing to check is the track bar bushings.
I replaced all 4 shocks and bushings, rattling was still there, Everything is tight and look normal, I'm thinking a wheel bearing is a possible cause.
Maybe check for mud or something that has come loose ..
Hard to tell but start off at the basic.
Could be a CV joint .does it make a clutter clutter sound when turning left?

Yes, it does, Haven't gone mudding so there is no sign of mud anywhere.
Reason I say this my friends for the speed wobble and had a chunk of mud causing this.
While there are a variety of reasons your jeep Wrangler is rattling, the most common 3 are the ball joints, struts or strut mount, or a problem with the sway bar links.
