286912 mudguard compatible with FORD F-MAX – Direct Fit

286912 mudguard is a precision-engineered replacement front wheel upper mudguard LH designed to fit applications compatible with FORD F-MAX, helping restore stable wheel-arch coverage in high-mileage service. It is commonly selected when the previous panel shows vibration damage, cracked edges, or loosened mounting seats after depot maneuvering and daily route work.

The 286912 mudguard is shaped to maintain dimensional tolerances along the wheel-arch line while supporting impact-resistant housing performance against road debris. Its contact edges are designed for moisture ingress protection, helping reduce spray and grime accumulation in low-light working conditions and wet regional distribution routes for vehicles compatible with FORD.

Technicians often choose the 286912 mudguard for direct-fit installation: clean the mounting surface, check guide pin alignment (if present), and tighten fasteners evenly to avoid stress points. The layout is intended to match the stable mounting bracket positions and keep clearance consistent during long-haul route operation, where constant vibration can deform older arch components on trucks compatible with FORD.

For fleet inventory planning, clear OE identification improves warehouse picking accuracy and reduces returns when ordering for compatible with FORD F-MAX. This listing references OE numbers JC4616C581AC and T286912; fitment should be confirmed by OE reference and mounting configuration before ordering.

• SKU planning: keep OE labels clear for faster replenishment in fleets compatible with FORD.
• Warehouse picking accuracy: map orders by JC4616C581AC / T286912 to reduce mis-picks.
• Transit-ready handling: single-piece wheel-arch component supports tidy bin storage and safe dispatch.
• Fleet maintenance readiness: suitable for scheduled replacements across regional distribution trucks and high-mileage service units.
• Mirrored-part strategy: supports RH/LH SKU pairing when maintaining compatible with FORD F-MAX fleets.

1. Preparation: park safely, apply the parking brake, and disconnect the battery.
2. Access: turn steering for wheel-arch access and clean dirt from the mounting area.
3. Remove old part: remove fasteners/clips and release the mudguard from mounting points.
4. Inspect: check for broken clips, elongated holes, and bracket wear from vibration.
5. Check install area: verify guide pin alignment and confirm surrounding clearance.
6. Install new part: position the mudguard, align holes, and hand-start fixings.
7. Tighten evenly: secure progressively to maintain even gaps and stable fitment.
8. Seal check: confirm edges sit flush for moisture ingress protection.
9. Function check: steer lock-to-lock and confirm no rubbing or looseness.
10. Fleet note: record JC4616C581AC / T286912 for repeat ordering.

This is a direct-fit installation with plug-and-play compatibility for standard mounting points, and no special tools required for routine replacement.
