Peterbilt 587 Clamps, Brackets & Mounting

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 587 Clamps, Brackets & Mounting

What are these clamps, brackets, and mounting parts used for on a Peterbilt 587?

This category covers the hardware used to secure and support various components on your Peterbilt 587, including fenders, hoses, wiring harnesses, exhaust systems, air lines, and other accessories. These parts help keep components stable and properly positioned during operation.

Will these parts fit my Peterbilt 587 without modification?

Most items in this category are designed to match the factory mounting points and hole patterns for the Peterbilt 587. However, because trim level, model year, and prior modifications can affect fit, we recommend comparing the part number and dimensions listed on each product page to your existing hardware before ordering.

What materials are these clamps and brackets made from?

Depending on the specific product, you will find options made from stamped steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Steel brackets are often finished with a protective coating or paint to resist corrosion, while stainless and aluminum options offer additional resistance to rust in high-exposure areas like the frame rail or undercarriage.

Do I need any special tools to install these mounting parts?

Most clamps and brackets can be installed with common hand tools such as wrenches, sockets, and a torque wrench. Some applications may require drilling or minor fabrication if you are replacing a damaged or missing factory mount, so it is a good idea to review the installation notes on the product page before starting the job.

How do I know if I need a clamp, a bracket, or a full mounting kit?

A clamp typically secures a hose, line, or cable to an existing structure, a bracket provides a mounting point for a component such as a fender or light, and a mounting kit usually includes multiple pieces needed to complete a full installation. If you are unsure which one applies to your repair, check the part description or reach out to our support team with the specific component you are trying to secure or replace.
