Default Front End Rattle After Off-roading

My front passenger side wheel rattles during off pedal...I mean 'coasting'.
It only rattles when off-throttle. If I step on the gas even very little amount, it' doesn't.
I found the crack at the differential mount which is on the crossmember...so I changed it, but it wasn't a culprit.
Check this out.
Front Rattle - YouTube
My next suspect is a half shaft, maybe the next one will be a diff.
What do you guys think? Hopefully everyone could understand my English.
Thanks.

I watched the video about 10 times and I'm having a hard time putting that noise to the tire. It seems more dependent on engine rpm than wheel spin. Have you chekced everything that could be loose like skid plates and heat shield?

Good luck and please post your outcome.

I tried throttle even without the wheel, it still rattles. The rattle sound is coming from the 'thin metal plate' which is right beside of the rotor...but it's obvious that my outboard cv makes the vibration. I found it almost stuck when I disassembled it. Now I'm waiting for my new cv from RCV, but no one knows the result. I hope that will be an end.

It turns out the thing is front diff damage, probably the ring and pinion.
I'm waiting for the parts.
