- 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 flying debris, shield pedestrians and other cars from small pebbles that may ricochet off your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle's frame if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."
In many Nissan models, the fender is made up of several distinct parts, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, the Nissan fender splash shield can be found to the inside of the wheel well, and sits in between the fender frame and your tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for a particular location on your vehicle: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. These shields are also made using the exact dimensions of specific Nissan years and models.
With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can be your Nissan's first line of defense from incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a truck drives past your vehicle and kicks a rock up into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can stop the object from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. Plus, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may provide a barrier for these components from the elements, which could prevent premature corrosion and wear.
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 your vehicle's complex systems. Keep in mind, it may also have cracks or chips if you accidentally hit 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 could also generate a grinding or tapping sound if a piece breaks off and flutters against the tires.
Here's the thing, though: installing a replacement for your Nissan's fender splash shields is easy and inexpensive. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that attaches to your Nissan seamlessly, so it's a good idea to purchase directly from Nissan Parts. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation can vary a bit. Most of the time, all you need is the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
Begin by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, remove the bolts and clips that hold the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, set them aside for a few minutes (usually, it's best to use new fastening pieces, in case the existing hardware is worn). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front), set it inside your wheel well, ensuring any holes and rivets are aligned with with the ones in your fender. Once everything is aligned, bolt or snap your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place! If you need help, visit a local Nissan service site or dealership.
