Choosing Mud Flaps And Splash Guards
Mud flaps, also called splash guards, mount near the wheels to help limit the water, mud and small stones thrown toward the lower body. Choose the positions you need: a set may cover the front, the rear, or both. The shape and mounting points must suit the wheel opening and the equipment already on the vehicle.
A molded, application-specific guard follows a particular body contour. A broader-fit design still needs sufficient clearance and compatible attachment points; similar width alone does not establish the fit.
What Mud Guards Help Protect
A guard behind a tire helps interrupt spray before it reaches nearby body panels. Front and rear locations cover different areas of the vehicle, so consider the area exposed to the wheel when choosing a set.
The coverage depends on the guard's shape, position and the vehicle. Mud flaps can reduce splash and debris contact, but they cannot prevent every paint chip or keep the underbody completely clean.
A-Premium Splash Guard Sets
A-Premium offers four-piece front-and-rear sets for selected vehicles. Some packages list screws or other mounting pieces; the included hardware and installation method depend on the product. A guard designed for the driver side may not match the passenger-side wheel opening.
Clean the mounting area and identify each guard before installation. Check for any existing accessories or body modifications that affect the attachment points, and use the instructions supplied for the selected set.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is a mud flap the same as a fender liner?
A mud flap sits near the edge of a wheel opening to limit spray from the tire. A fender liner covers a larger area inside the wheel well. They serve related protective roles but are separate parts and are not interchangeable.
Can splash guards rub the tires?
A guard mounted in the wrong position, or one that is incompatible with surrounding trim, can interfere with tire clearance. Check the position and clearance through the steering range and suspension travel according to the installation instructions.
Will a set fit with running boards or side skirts?
Compatibility varies with the set and the vehicle's existing equipment. For example, some A-Premium applications exclude power running boards or side skirts. Check the notes for the particular guard because those exclusions do not apply to every set.
Do mud flaps always need drilled holes?
The mounting method is product-specific. A package with screws does not by itself establish whether new holes are needed, and some designs use existing attachment points. Use the instructions for the selected set before making any holes in the vehicle.
How should splash guards be maintained?
Rinse away built-up mud and road salt during regular washing, and inspect the guards and fasteners for damage or looseness. A damaged or loose guard may no longer stay in the intended position behind the wheel.
