What is another word for mudguards?
Pronunciation: [mˈʌdɡɑːdz] (IPA) 
Mudguards are a crucial component of any vehicle, helping protect the wheels and undercarriage from mud, water, and debris. However, there are several other terms used to describe this part of a vehicle. Fenders, splash guards, and wheel arches are all synonyms for mudguards. Fenders are most commonly used to describe the part of a vehicle that extends over the wheels and protects the body from dirt and debris kicked up by the tires. Splash guards serve a similar function but are attached closer to the tires and are often used on trucks and SUVs. Wheel arches are the curved coverings around the wheel well and serve as a barrier between the tire and the vehicle's body.
