- 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 protect your undercarriage and wheels from incoming road debris, protect pedestrians and other vehicles from rocks and pebbles that may bounce off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle's frame if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."
For some Nissan models, the fender consists of a few separate parts, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). To get more specific, the Nissan fender splash shield is attached inside the wheel well, and is situated between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed to fit only in certain locations on your vehicle: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. They're also made using the exact dimensions of specific Nissan years and models.
Because of where they're mounted in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can be the first layer of protection against incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a tall SUV drives beside your Nissan and its large tires throw a pebble straight toward your wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) helps prevent the rock from affecting the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. Plus, the shield can offer protection for those parts from weather, which can help slow damage or corrosion.
Over time, when exposed to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can degrade, losing the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may crack or break if you scrape a curb or encounter a sizable pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will likely create an annoying scraping or flapping noise if it is left to flutter against the nearby tire.
The good news: installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your Nissan is easy and inexpensive. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that will fit on your Nissa perfectly, so it's wise to buy a genuine OEM part from Nissan directly. Depending upon what model and year you have, the steps for installation may be slightly different. For most vehicles, you'll need a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.
Before you do anything else, start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the clips and bolts that are attached to your current fender shield. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, set these small pieces aside (usually, it's better to go ahead and buy new fastening pieces, in case the existing hardware is worn). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) by holding it inside your wheel well, carefully checking that all rivets and holes are aligned with the notches and holes in the fender piece. After you've aligned everything, bolt or snap the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place and secure it! For help with this process, stop by a nearby Nissan service center.
With a little bit of time and an OEM replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), you and your Nissan can hit the road again with peace of mind!
