An assembly for mounting a fender on a vehicle having a body and at least one axle fitted with at least one resiliently suspended wheel, includes a linkage member on at least one side of the at least one wheel extending from its axle to the fender, for securing the fender relative to the wheel, a fastener for rotatably securing the linkage member to the axle, at least one mounting member for securing the linkage member to the fender, the at least one mounting member having a slot extending parallel to the axis of the linkage member which slidably receives at least one projecting member extending from the body, for permitting the mounting member and fender to move relative to the body along the path of the slot. The at least one mounting member preferably includes a slot member which includes the slot, attached perpendicularly to a fastening member for fastening the at least one mounting member to the fender. A method is also provided for mounting a fender on a vehicle having a body and at least one axle fitted with at least one wheel, including the steps of joining the fender to the at least one axle with a linkage member so that the fender and axle cannot move relative to each other, and preventing the fender from rotating around the axle with a member projecting from the body into a slot in a slot member extending parallel to the axis of the linkage member.
