A splash guard or mud guard for vehicles comprising an upper section, and a lower section pivotally secured to the upper section, the lower edge of the upper section and the upper edge of the lower section each having a pair of cylindrical hollow hinge barrels, the hinge barrels of one section interfitting with the hinge barrels of the other section to provide an axial opening therethrough, and a pair of axially aligned hollow cylindrical sleeves positioned within the axial opening with each sleeve extending from a hinge barrel of one section into an adjacently positioned hinge barrel of the other section, with the inner ends of the cylindrical sleeves being secured against rotation within inner hinge barrels of opposite sections, thereby pivotally securing the upper and lower sections together, and one of a pair of oppositely wound helical springs positioned in each cylindrical sleeve with the inner end of each sleeve being secured against rotation within its respective sleeve, and with the outer ends of the springs being secured against rotation within outer hinge barrels of opposite sections, and means to adjust the tension of the springs.
