The fender on your Nissan is designed to help in safeguarding the wheels and undercarriage components from flying debris, shield nearby people or other vehicles from any rocks that might deflect from your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of 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. Specifically, your Nissan's fender splash shield is mounted to the inside of the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. All fender splash shields are tailor-made to fit only in certain locations on your car: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're made with respect to the measurements of specific Nissan years and models.
Due to their positioning within your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield serves as your Nissan's outermost layer of defense against incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a truck drives beside your Nissan and its large tires throw a pebble straight toward your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield helps prevent the object from affecting the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. And, the shield can offer protection for those parts from weather, helping slow corrosion and wear.
As it ages and endures exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield can break down, losing the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Keep in mind, it may also have cracks or chips if you accidentally hit a curb or smash into a sizable pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will probably make a scraping or flapping noise if a piece breaks off and flutters against the tires.
Here's the thing, though: replacing any of the fender splash shields on your Nissan is inexpensive and simple to do. You need a Fender Splash Shield that will fit on your Nissan without any gaps, so it's a good idea to purchase an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation may vary slightly. For most vehicles, you'll just need to have a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.
You'll start by letting your car cool down. Then, take off the bolts and clips from your current fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (typically, it's better to go ahead and buy new ones, in case your old hardware has been damaged). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield replacement by setting it in the appropriate position, checking to be sure that all holes and rivets are aligned with the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once you're confident about the placement, snap or screw the Fender Splash Shield into place and secure it! For help with this process, head to a nearby Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
