- 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, shield pedestrians and other cars from any rocks that might deflect from your tires, and protect your vehicle in case of a roadway accident.
In many Nissan models, the fender has multiple components, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). To get more specific, the Nissan fender splash shield is mounted inside 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 car: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. Additionally, they're made with respect to the measurements of particular years and models of Nissan vehicles.
Due to their positioning within your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) is your first layer of protection against flying rocks or debris. For instance, if a truck drives past your vehicle and its large tires throw a pebble straight toward your wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can stop the object from getting stuck in the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. And, the shield can offer protection for those parts from weather, which could delay damage or corrosion.
Over time, when exposed to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may become worn, losing its ability to protect your vehicle's undercarriage components. Keep in mind, it may also break or detach if you hit a curb by accident or smash into a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will likely generate a scraping or flapping noise if a piece breaks off and flutters against the nearby tire.
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 fits your Nissan without any gaps, so it's recommended that you buy a genuine OEM part from Nissan directly. Depending upon what model and year you have, the replacement process may be slightly different. In most cases, all you need is the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
Before you do anything else, start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the clips and bolts from the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set them aside for a few minutes (typically, it's better to go ahead and buy new fastening pieces, in case the existing hardware is worn). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) replacement by setting it in the appropriate position, carefully checking that all holes and rivets are aligned with with the ones in your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, snap or screw the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) onto your Nissan! If you need help, head to your nearest Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
