Rear mudguard brackets for trucks

Rear mudguard brackets for trucks provide a strong and stable mounting for the rear mudguard. They connect the mudguard to the chassis and help reduce vibrations, movement and flexing while driving. A properly mounted mudguard bracket contributes to safety, helps prevent damage to the mudguard and ensures that the rear wheels are properly shielded from splashing water, mud and stone chips.

At BAS Parts & Tyres, you will find rear mudguard brackets for trucks of various makes and models. Whether you are looking for an individual bracket, mounting bracket, support tube or complete mounting component, you can find a suitable solution for your truck.

What is a rear mudguard bracket?

A rear mudguard bracket is a supporting component used to attach the rear mudguard to the truck chassis. The bracket keeps the mudguard in the correct position above or around the rear wheel and absorbs vibrations and forces generated while driving.

Mudguard support tubes

On many trucks, the rear mudguard is mounted on metal support tubes. These tubes are attached to the chassis and form the base on which the mudguard and additional mounting components are installed.

Mounting brackets

Mounting brackets connect the mudguard support to the chassis or mudguard. They provide a secure mounting and help maintain the correct position of the mudguard.

Rubber mounts and mounting hardware

Rubber supports, clamps, bolts and other mounting hardware help absorb vibrations and prevent metal components from moving directly against each other.

Why are good mudguard brackets important?

Rear mudguards are continuously exposed to vibrations, wind loads, splashing dirt and chassis movement. Without strong supports, the mudguard may move, crack or even come loose while driving.

• Provide secure mounting of the rear mudguard.
• Reduce vibrations and movement while driving.
• Help prevent cracks and damage to the mudguard.
• Support correct shielding of the rear wheels.
• Contribute to the safety and appearance of the truck.

Symptoms of a damaged mudguard bracket

A worn or damaged mudguard bracket can often be identified by movement or an incorrect position of the rear mudguard. Possible signs include:

• A loose or crooked mudguard.
• Excessive vibrations while driving.
• Rattling or knocking noises.
• A bent or broken bracket.
• Rust or severe corrosion.
• Cracked rubber mounts.
• Loose or missing bolts and clamps.

Common causes of damage

Vibrations and material fatigue

Continuous vibrations can cause mounting points and metal supports to wear or crack over time.

Corrosion

Water, dirt and road salt can affect metal mudguard brackets. Severe corrosion reduces the strength of the construction.

Impact damage

Contact with a kerb, loading dock, trailer or other obstacle can bend or break a mudguard bracket.

Loose fasteners

Bolts, clamps and brackets can become loose due to vibrations. This creates additional movement and may cause further damage to the bracket or mudguard.

Which parts are included in the rear mudguard mounting?

Depending on the make and design, the rear mudguard mounting can consist of various components:

• Mudguard brackets.
• Support tubes.
• Mounting brackets.
• Mudguard clamps.
• Rubber blocks and vibration dampers.
• Bolts, nuts and washers.
• End caps and finishing components.
• Mounting plates.

Choosing the right rear mudguard bracket

Mudguard brackets differ in length, diameter, shape, mounting position and mounting points. The axle configuration and type of rear mudguard can also determine which bracket is required.

Therefore, always check the OEM number, part number or chassis number. Also compare the dimensions, mounting side and mounting points with the existing component.
