Dongfeng Kinland truck spare parts left lower wheel cover 8403449-C0200

A core advantage of the 8403449-C0200 wheel cover is its ability to provide multi-layered protection for critical left lower wheel and underbody parts. As a physical barrier, it blocks road debris such as gravel, stones, and metal shavings from scratching or denting the wheel rim, brake caliper, and axle housing—reducing wear on these high-cost components by 40%. Its upward-sloped design (15° angle) channels rain, snow, and mud away from the wheel hub, preventing water intrusion into wheel bearings (a leading cause of premature bearing failure) and minimizing corrosion on brake pads and rotors. For Kinland trucks operating on unpaved construction sites, gravel roads, or dusty logistics routes, this protection extends the lifespan of wheel-related parts by 2-3 years—lowering maintenance costs and reducing unplanned downtime that disrupts delivery schedules or construction projects

Built to withstand harsh operating conditions—from extreme temperatures to corrosive road salt and industrial dust—the 8403449-C0200 wheel cover uses robust, wear-resistant materials. The cover’s main body is injection-molded from high-impact ABS plastic reinforced with 15% glass fiber, delivering a tensile strength of 45MPa and impact resistance of 20kJ/m². This allows it to withstand minor impacts (e.g., from flying rocks or curbs) without cracking and maintain structural integrity in temperature extremes ranging from -40°C to 85°C. The mounting bracket is made of 1.5mm-thick galvanized steel with a powder-coated finish, passing 500-hour salt spray tests to resist rust and corrosion. Additionally, the cover’s surface is treated with a UV-stabilized coating (UV resistance rating: UVA 400) that prevents fading or chalking in prolonged sunlight, ensuring its original color remains consistent for 5+ years—outperforming generic plastic covers that degrade within 1-2 years

The 8403449-C0200 wheel cover features a dual-purpose design that combines aerodynamic efficiency with enhanced aesthetics. Its smooth, curved surface minimizes air turbulence around the wheel at high speeds (up to 100km/h), reducing drag by 7% compared to uncovered wheels or ill-fitting aftermarket covers. This translates to a 0.9-1.1% improvement in fuel economy for long-haul Kinland trucks—significant savings for fleet operators over 100,000+ annual kilometers. Aesthetically, the cover’s matte black or silver finish (matching Kinland’s factory exterior trim options) covers unsightly brake dust, rust spots, or worn components, elevating the truck’s overall appearance. It creates a cohesive look with the truck’s body, making it ideal for fleet vehicles that require a professional, uniform image. The cover’s edge is equipped with a flexible rubber seal that fits tightly against the fender, blocking wind from entering gaps and lowering road noise by up to 10%—improving driver comfort during long-haul trips

The 8403449-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: 5 stainless steel snap-on clips (for quick attachment to the fender) and 3 self-tapping bolts (for secure mounting to the wheel hub). Installation takes just 12-18 minutes for a single technician using only a socket wrench—no on-site drilling, cutting, or modification required. Maintenance is equally simple: the cover’s smooth surface allows road grime or mud to 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 additional maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. For fleet operators, this easy installation and low upkeep mean lower labor costs, fewer disruptions to daily operations, and more time for trucks to stay on the road
