- Located between the fender and the tire
- Helps shield your vehicle from small rocks and other road debris
- Replace when cracked or broken
The fender on your Nissan is designed to help protect the wheels and undercarriage components from debris on the roadway, protect pedestrians and other vehicles from any rocks that might deflect from your tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in the event of a roadway accident.
On quite a few Nissan models, the fender has several distinct parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). To get more specific, the fender splash shield on your Nissan is mounted to the wheel well, and is situated between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are custom designed for a particular location on your vehicle: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. They're also engineered with respect to the measurements of particular years and models of Nissan vehicles.
With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) serves as your first layer of protection against flying rocks or debris. As an example, if a truck speeds past your vehicle and its tires send a rock straight toward your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can stop the rock from bouncing into the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. Additionally, the shield can offer protection for those parts from outside elements, helping slow wear and tear.
As it ages and endures exposure to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) may become worn, losing the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's complex systems. Plus, it can break or detach if you scrape a curb or encounter a sizable pothole. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will probably create an annoying grinding or tapping sound if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.
The good news: replacing one of your Nissan's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your Nissan seamlessly, so it's recommended that you purchase an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the steps for installation can vary a bit. In most cases, you'll just need to have 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 bolts and clips that are attached to the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set these small pieces aside (usually, it's better to use new fasteners, 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, ensuring any holes and rivets match the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once everything is aligned, bolt or snap your new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) into place! For help with this process, visit a local Nissan service site or dealership.
