Rattling issue

[Sota]

I’ve had my LX about a week and on my way home from work this evening I encountered my first issue. I get a terrible rattle when hitting any bumps. I’ve isolated it to the right rear wheel. Any ideas what’s broken?

Could be a rock stuck inside the thin rotor guard. Take off the wheel and you may see it poking out at the bottom of the rotor.

That's what my sudden-onset rattle was.

I’ll check that. I’ve tried uploading a video but not having any luck.

I found the issue. This was somehow behind the rotor guard. And man did I find a lot of rust while poking around. No real rot but I’m a bit nervous now.

Um... Do you have brake pads on the car still?!?
