Rear mudguard of a truck

Rear Truck Mudguards

A rear mudguard for a truck protects the rear wheels, chassis, lighting, and other road users from splashing water, mud, stone chips, and other road debris. Rear mudguards are an important part of the bodywork and contribute to the safety, durability, and professional appearance of the truck. By properly shielding the rear wheels, both the vehicle and its cargo remain better protected under all driving conditions.

At BAS Parts & Tyres, you will find a comprehensive range of rear mudguards for trucks from various makes and models. Whether you want to replace a complete rear mudguard or are looking for a mudguard for a specific axle configuration, you will always find a suitable solution.

What is a rear mudguard?

A rear mudguard is a protective cover mounted above and around the rear wheels. While driving, it catches splashing water, mud, snow, sand, and stone chips thrown up by the rear tyres. This helps protect the chassis, lighting, trailer, and other road users from dirt and damage.

Single rear mudguards

Single rear mudguards are used on vehicles with a single rear axle. They provide excellent wheel protection and fit the available mounting points on the truck.

Rear mudguards for tandem axles

Longer or wider rear mudguards are available for trucks with tandem or dual rear axles. These protect multiple wheels and provide optimal coverage for the entire rear axle.

Why is a rear mudguard important?

A properly installed rear mudguard prevents splashing debris and stone chips from damaging the truck or other vehicles. It also helps keep the rear of the truck cleaner and contributes to a professional appearance.

• Protects the chassis, lighting, and bodywork from dirt and stone chips.
• Reduces water spray for following traffic.
• Prevents unnecessary wear on components around the rear axle.
• Contributes to road safety.
• Provides a clean and professional appearance for the truck.

Symptoms of a damaged rear mudguard

A damaged rear mudguard provides less protection and may start vibrating or come loose while driving. Common signs include:

• Cracks or fractures in the mudguard.
• Bent or deformed mudguard sections.
• Loose mounting points.
• Damage caused by stone chips or collisions.
• Excessive vibration while driving.
• Wear or deformation along the mudguard edge.

Causes of damage

Stone chips and road debris

Rear mudguards are constantly exposed to flying stones, sand, and mud, which can cause wear or damage over time.

Collisions

Contact with loading docks, kerbs, or other vehicles can result in cracks, deformation, or broken mounting points.

Weather conditions

UV radiation, rain, snow, and road salt can affect plastic and metal mudguards, reducing their service life.

Choosing the right rear mudguard

Rear mudguards vary by truck make, model, year of manufacture, and axle configuration. Always check the OEM number, part number, or chassis number before ordering a new rear mudguard. Also ensure the correct dimensions, wheel size, and rear axle type.
