- 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 provide protection for the wheels and undercarriage components from debris on the roadway, shield pedestrians and other vehicles from any rocks that may ricochet off your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of a roadway accident.
For some Nissan models, the fender is made up of multiple components, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). To get more specific, the Nissan fender splash shield is mounted to the wheel well, and is situated in between the fender frame and your tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for specific fitment within your vehicle: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. Additionally, they're engineered using the exact dimensions of particular Nissan models and years.
Due to their positioning on your vehicle, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can be your Nissan's outermost layer of defense against flying rocks or debris. As an example, if a tall SUV drives beside your Nissan and kicks a rock up straight toward your wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) helps prevent the object from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. Plus, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may offer protection for those parts from outside elements, which could slow damage or corrosion.
With time and exposure to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can break down, which compromises its ability to protect your vehicle's undercarriage components. Plus, it can have cracks or chips if you hit a curb by accident or drive over a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will likely create an annoying flapping or grinding noise if a piece breaks off and flutters up against a tire.
But, the good news is that installing a replacement for your Nissan's fender splash shields is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that will fit on your Nissa perfectly, so it's a good idea to purchase an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the replacement process can vary a bit. In most cases, all you need is a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.
You'll start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Next, remove the bolts and clips from the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's better to purchase new fastening pieces, in case your old hardware has been damaged). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) by holding it in place, ensuring any holes and rivets match the holes on your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, screw or clip the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place and secure it! For help with this process, head to a local Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
