2.21 REAR MUD GUARDS AND WHEEL ARCHES
On chassis cab version vehicles without rear mudguards, the bodybuilder must implement solutions equal to those provided by
IVECO.
For the realisation of the fenders, the wheel arch boxes and the shaping of the superstructure, keep in mind that:
● the free shaking of the wheels must be ensured even in the conditions of use with chains; any indications on limit values can be
requested via the Support Service;
● the width of the mudguard must be greater than the maximum dimensions occupied by the tyres, within the limits set by the
regulations;
● the support structure of the mudguard must have adequate strength and be able to limit the vibrations;
● the connection may be made on the vertical rib of the side members of the vehicle (only using the existing holes) or directly
under the applied superstructure (see Figure 20).
The first and the second point are also to be considered in the implementation of wheel arches.
