Default Rattling sound from passenger front end

Hi I'm new to the forum and I could use some help .
I replaced my passenger side lower ball joint on my 99 f150xlt 4x4 everything went smoothly , but now I am getting a rattling / jingly sound coming from the passenger side front , only happens after a few minutes of driving and then gets louder as I drive , any ideas ? I'm thinking wheel bearing ?

:[ just got to work and the rattling sound is back , i noticed it goes away when I apply the breaks,

Update : I took wheel off and found that one of the spring clips for the brake pads was slightly rubbing against the rotor , bent it back and problem solved
