ABSTRACT:
A guard for vehicles protects the axle housing and proximate components from falling rocks and road debris. The device has a central mount that attaches onto the differential unit portion of the axle housing. The mount partially protects the differential unit. In addition, at least two shields are hinged onto the central mount. The shields can cover the segments of the exposed axle housing and said shields can be locked into place. The shields can be unlocked and swung from the central mount to allow for inspection, maintenance, and cleanup of the axle housing and its proximate components.
