Dongfeng Kinland truck parts Lower right wheel cover 8403450-C0200

A core advantage of the 8403450-C0200 wheel cover is its comprehensive protection for critical wheel and underbody parts. The cover acts as a barrier against road debris (e.g., gravel, stones, metal shavings) that would otherwise scratch or dent the wheel rim, brake caliper, and axle housing—reducing wear on these high-cost components by 40%. Its downward-sloped design channels rain, snow, and mud away from the wheel hub, preventing water intrusion into the wheel bearings (a leading cause of premature bearing failure) and reducing corrosion on brake components. For Kinland trucks operating on unpaved construction sites or gravel roads, this protection extends the lifespan of wheel-related parts by 2-3 years—lowering maintenance costs and minimizing unplanned downtime

Built to withstand harsh operating conditions—from extreme temperatures to corrosive road salt—the 8403450-C0200 wheel cover uses robust, wear-resistant materials. The cover’s main body is injection-molded from high-impact ABS plastic (with 15% glass fiber reinforcement), delivering a tensile strength of 45MPa and impact resistance of 20kJ/m²—capable of withstanding minor impacts (e.g., from flying rocks) without cracking. The mounting bracket is made of galvanized steel (1.5mm thickness) with a powder-coated finish, passing 500-hour salt spray tests to resist rust. Additionally, the cover’s surface is treated with a UV-stabilized coating that prevents fading or chalking in prolonged sunlight (UV resistance rating: UVA 400), maintaining its original color for 5+ years—outperforming generic plastic covers that degrade within 1-2 years

The 8403450-C0200 wheel cover features an aerodynamic design tailored to Kinland’s truck profile, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing cabin noise. Its smooth, curved surface minimizes air turbulence around the wheel at high speeds (up to 100km/h), reducing drag by 8% compared to uncovered wheels or ill-fitting aftermarket covers. This translates to a 1-1.2% improvement in fuel economy for long-haul Kinland trucks—significant savings for fleet operators over 100,000+ annual kilometers. The cover’s edge is designed with a flexible rubber seal that fits tightly against the fender, blocking wind from entering gaps and lowering road noise by up to 12%. For drivers spending 8+ hours daily on the road, this quieter, more fuel-efficient design improves comfort and reduces operational costs

The 8403450-C0200 wheel cover is designed for hassle-free installation and minimal upkeep, reducing Kinland truck downtime. It comes fully pre-assembled with all necessary hardware: 6x stainless steel snap-on clips (for quick attachment to the fender) and 4x self-tapping bolts (for secure mounting to the wheel hub). Installation takes 15-20 minutes for a single technician using only a socket wrench—no on-site drilling, cutting, or modification required. The cover’s smooth surface is easy to clean: road grime or mud can be rinsed off with water, and minor scratches can be buffed out with a damp cloth. Unlike metal covers that require regular rust treatment, the ABS plastic body needs no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. For fleet operators, this easy installation and low upkeep mean lower labor costs and fewer disruptions to delivery schedules or construction projects
