- Located between the fender and the tire
- Helps shield your vehicle from small rocks and other road debris
- Replace when cracked or broken
Your Nissan fender's job is to help in safeguarding your undercarriage and wheels from debris on the roadway, shield pedestrians and other vehicles from rocks and pebbles that may ricochet off your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle's frame if you're involved in a minor collision.
For some Nissan models, the fender has several distinct parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, your Nissan's fender splash shield can be found to the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are custom designed for a particular location on your Nissan: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. They're also designed for use in specific Nissan years and models.
With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can be your Nissan's first layer of protection from incoming debris and contamination. For instance, if a tall SUV drives beside your Nissan and its large tires throw a pebble straight toward your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can stop the debris from getting stuck in the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. And, the shield can help protect these parts from the elements, which could delay wear and tear.
As it ages and endures exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may become worn, which negatively affects its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Keep in mind, it may also have cracks or chips if you scrape a curb or encounter a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it could also make a scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.
The good news: installing a replacement for your Nissan's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You want a new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your Nissa perfectly, so it's recommended that you purchase a genuine OEM part from Nissan directly. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation may vary slightly. In most cases, you'll need the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
Begin by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, take off the bolts and clips that are attached to the old fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set these small pieces aside (usually, it's advisable to go ahead and buy new fasteners, just in case the old components are worn out). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) replacement by setting it in place, carefully checking that all rivets and holes line up with the ones in your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, bolt or snap the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) onto your Nissan! For professional installation, stop by a local Nissan service center.
