On your Nissan, the fender can help protect your wheels and undercarriage from incoming road debris, protect nearby people or other vehicles from small pebbles that might deflect from your moving tires, and protect your vehicle in case of a roadway accident.
In many Nissan models, the fender has multiple components, including a Fender Splash Shield. To get more specific, the Nissan fender splash shield is attached inside the wheel well, and creates a barrier in between the fender frame and your tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed for a particular location on your Nissan: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. These shields are also engineered for use in particular Nissan models and years.
Because of where they're mounted on your vehicle, the Fender Splash Shield serves as the first line of defense against incoming debris and contamination. For example, if a truck drives past your car and kicks a rock up right into your vehicle's wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield can stop the rock from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. And, the Fender Splash Shield may offer protection for those parts from the elements, which could slow damage or corrosion.
With time and exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield can degrade, which compromises its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Keep in mind, it may also crack or break if you hit a curb by accident or encounter a pothole. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will probably make a scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the nearby tire.
But, the good news is that replacing one of your vehicle's fender splash shields is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You need a Fender Splash Shield that fits your Nissan without any gaps, so it's recommended that you buy an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation can vary a bit. Most of the time, you'll just need to have a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.
Begin by letting your car cool down. Next, remove the bolts and clips from your current fender shield. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (usually, it's best to purchase new ones, just in case the old components are worn out). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield replacement by setting it in the appropriate position, ensuring any holes and rivets match the notches and holes in the fender piece. After you've aligned everything, bolt or snap the replacement Fender Splash Shield onto your Nissan! If you need help, head to a local Nissan service center.
