ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for mounting a mudflap on a vehicle comprises an elongated rigid bracket member having a longitudinally extending channel formed in one end thereof, a resilient pad element, a pedestal member comprising an elongated rigid pedestal element and means for securing the bracket member, the pedestal member and the pad element in assembled relation, wherein the pad and the pedestal element are received in the channel and the pad element is compressed between the pedestal element and the bracket member. For use of the mounting assembly, a mudflap is secured to the bracket member and the pedestal member is secured to the frame or chassis of a vehicle to mount the mudflap thereon. The pad element acts to absorb and dampen shocks and vibrations produced in the bracket member by road conditions so that metal fatigue in the bracket member and the pedestal member is minimized.
