- 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 wheels and undercarriage from flying debris, shield pedestrians and vehicles from any rocks that may ricochet off your tires, and protect your vehicle's frame if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."
In many Nissan models, the fender consists of a few separate parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). To get more specific, the fender splash shield on your Nissan is attached to the inside of the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for a particular location on your Nissan: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. These shields are also engineered for use in particular years and models of Nissan vehicles.
With their carefully chosen position within your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) serves as your Nissan's first line of defense against flying rocks or debris. For example, if a tall SUV drives past your car and its tires send a rock straight toward your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can help prevent the object from bouncing into the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. Additionally, the shield can offer protection for those parts from outside elements, which could prevent premature wear and tear.
Over time, when exposed to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may become worn, losing the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's undercarriage components. Additionally, it may break or detach if you scrape a curb or drive over a pothole. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will likely make a flapping or grinding noise if a broken piece is pushed up against a tire.
The good news: replacing any of your Nissan's fender splash shields is easy and inexpensive. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your Nissa perfectly, so it's a good idea to purchase a genuine OEM part from Nissan directly. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may vary slightly. Most of the time, all you need is the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
Begin by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, remove the clips and bolts that hold the old fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set these small pieces aside (usually, it's advisable to go ahead and buy new ones, 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, ensuring any holes and rivets line up the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once you're confident about the placement, screw or clip the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place and secure it! If you need help, visit a nearby Nissan service site or dealership.
