Your Nissan fender's job is to help protect your undercarriage and wheels from flying debris, shield pedestrians and vehicles from any rocks that may bounce off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of a collision or "fender bender."
In many Nissan models, the fender is made up of multiple components, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield. Specifically, the fender splash shield on your Nissan can be found to the wheel well, and creates a barrier between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for specific fitment within your car: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're made using the exact dimensions of particular years and models of Nissan vehicles.
With their carefully chosen position on your vehicle, your Fender Splash Shield is your outermost layer of defense against flying rocks or debris. For instance, if a truck speeds past your vehicle and its large tires throw a pebble into your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield can stop the rock from affecting the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. Additionally, the shield can provide a barrier for these components from outside elements, which can help delay wear and tear.
Over time, when exposed to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield may become worn, losing the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Keep in mind, it may also break or detach if you scrape a curb or drive through a pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will probably generate a flapping or grinding noise if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.
The good news: installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your Nissan is affordable and easy to handle. You want a new Fender Splash Shield that fits your Nissan perfectly, so it's recommended that you purchase directly from Nissan Parts. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation may vary slightly. In most cases, all you need is a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.
Before you do anything else, start by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, remove the bolts and clips that are attached to the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, set these small pieces aside (whenever possible, it's advisable to use new fastening pieces, just in case the old components are worn out). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield by holding it inside your wheel well, checking to be sure that all rivets and holes line up with the ones in your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, screw or clip your new Fender Splash Shield into place! For professional installation, visit your nearest Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
