- 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 the wheels and undercarriage components from debris on the roadway, protect pedestrians and other cars from small pebbles that may bounce off your moving tires, and protect your vehicle in case of a collision or "fender bender."
In many Nissan models, the fender is made up of a few separate parts, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Very often, the Nissan fender splash shield is attached to the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. All fender splash shields are tailor-made for a particular location on your car: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. These shields are also designed using the exact dimensions of particular years and models of Nissan vehicles.
With their carefully chosen position on your vehicle, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) serves as your outermost layer of defense against damage from 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 stop the rock from affecting the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. And, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may provide a barrier for these components from the elements, which could slow corrosion and wear.
Over time, when exposed to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can degrade, which compromises its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Plus, it can break or detach if you scrape a curb or encounter a pothole. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it could also create an annoying grinding or tapping sound if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.
Here's the thing, though: replacing any of the fender splash shields on your Nissan is easy and inexpensive. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your Nissa perfectly, so it's wise to order a genuine OEM part from Nissan directly. Depending upon what model and year you have, the process of installing your new part may be slightly different. In most cases, you'll just need to have the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
You'll start by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, take off the clips and bolts from your current fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (typically, it's best to go ahead and buy new fastening pieces, just in case the old components are worn out). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), set it in the appropriate position, checking to be sure that all rivets and holes line up with the ones in your fender. Once everything is aligned, snap or screw your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place! For professional installation, visit a nearby Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
