- Located between the fender and the tire
- Helps shield your vehicle from small rocks and other road debris
- Replace when cracked or broken
On your Nissan, the fender can help protect your undercarriage and wheels from flying debris, shield nearby people or other vehicles from small pebbles that may ricochet off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."
On quite a few Nissan models, the fender consists of a few separate parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, the Nissan fender splash shield can be found to the inside of the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for specific fitment within your car: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. These shields are also engineered 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 line of defense against incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a tall SUV drives past your vehicle and its tires send a rock right into your vehicle's wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can help prevent the object from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. And, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may offer protection for those parts from the elements, helping prevent premature wear and tear.
With time and exposure to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may become worn, losing the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Keep in mind, it may also crack or break if you hit a curb by accident or smash into a pothole. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will likely create an annoying 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 inexpensive and simple to do. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your Nissan without any gaps, so it's recommended that you buy a genuine OEM part from Nissan directly. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation may be slightly different. In most cases, all you need is your Nissan owner's manual, a screwdriver, and some fasteners.
Begin by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the clips and bolts that are attached to the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, set them aside for a few minutes (usually, it's best to go ahead and buy new ones, in case your old hardware has been damaged). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) replacement by setting it inside your wheel well, checking to be sure that all rivets and holes match the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once you're confident about the placement, bolt or snap the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) onto your Nissan! If you need help, stop by a nearby Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
With a little bit of time and an OEM replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), your Nissan can get back to your adventures in no time! Purchase your Nissan fender splash shields and automotive accessories for your Nissan Pathfinder today. Click on the What This Fits section to learn more.
