- Located between the fender and the tire
- Helps shield your vehicle from small rocks and other road debris
- Replace when cracked or broken
The fender on your Nissan is designed to help protect your undercarriage and wheels from flying debris, shield people and other vehicles from any rocks that might deflect from your tires, and protect your vehicle in the event of a collision or "fender bender."
On quite a few Nissan models, the fender consists of multiple components, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). To get more specific, the fender splash shield on your Nissan is mounted to the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. All fender splash shields are tailor-made to fit only in certain locations on your vehicle: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're made for use in specific Nissan years and models.
With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) is your Nissan's first line of defense from flying rocks or debris. As an example, if a tall SUV drives beside your Nissan and its large tires throw a pebble into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the object from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. Plus, the shield can offer protection for those parts from the elements, which can help prevent premature damage or corrosion.
Over time, when exposed to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may become worn, losing its ability to protect your vehicle's undercarriage components. Additionally, it may break or detach if you scrape a curb or drive over a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will likely generate a flapping or grinding noise if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.
But, the good news is that installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your Nissan is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that will fit on your Nissan without any gaps, so it's a good idea to buy directly from Nissan Parts. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may vary slightly. For most vehicles, all you need is your Nissan owner's manual, a screwdriver, and some fasteners.
You'll start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the clips and bolts from the old fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's advisable to go ahead and buy new fastening pieces, in case your old hardware has been damaged). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), set it in the appropriate position, checking to be sure that all holes and rivets line up with the ones in your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, snap or screw your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) into place! If you need help, visit a local Nissan service site or dealership.
