Troubleshooting
Mudguard does not sit flush
Verify that the trailer frame is flat in the mounting area. Adjust bracket position or consider using shims if necessary.
Brackets seem unstable
Ensure all mounting bolts and nuts are securely tightened. Check that the trailer frame is structurally sound in the mounting area.
Difficulty aligning mounting holes
Utilize the elongated holes in the brackets for slight adjustments. If significant misalignment persists, re-evaluate the initial placement or drill new holes in the mudguard.
Rust appears on the mudguard
Galvanized steel offers corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to salt or harsh chemicals can lead to surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a rust inhibitor or suitable paint.
