- 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 in safeguarding your wheels and undercarriage from debris on the roadway, protect pedestrians and vehicles from small pebbles that may bounce off your spinning tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."
For some 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 Nissan fender splash shield is mounted to the inside of the wheel well, and is situated between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for specific fitment within your Nissan: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. They're also engineered for use in particular Nissan models and years.
With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) serves as your first line of defense against incoming debris and contamination. For example, if a truck speeds past your vehicle and kicks a rock up into your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can stop the object from bouncing into the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. And, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may provide a barrier for these components from the elements, helping slow wear and tear.
Over time, when exposed to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can break down, 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 smash into a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will probably generate a scraping or flapping noise if it is left to flutter against the nearby tire.
But, the good news is that replacing any of your vehicle's fender splash shields is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You want a new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that attaches to your Nissan seamlessly, so it's recommended that you purchase an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending on your specific vehicle, the process of installing your new part may vary slightly. In most cases, 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 bolts and clips that hold the old fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (usually, it's better to use new fastening pieces, in case your old hardware has been damaged). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) by holding it in the appropriate position, ensuring any rivets and holes are aligned with the holes on your fender. Once everything is aligned, bolt or snap your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place! If you need help, stop by a nearby Nissan service center.
With the right tools and an authentic Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) in your corner, you and your Nissan can get back to your adventures with peace of mind!
