- 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 protect your wheels and undercarriage from incoming road debris, shield nearby people or vehicles from any rocks that may bounce off your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of a roadway accident.
For some Nissan models, the fender has multiple components, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Specifically, the fender splash shield on your Nissan is attached to the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. All fender splash shields are tailor-made for specific fitment within your vehicle: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. They're also designed for use in particular years and models of Nissan vehicles.
Because of where they're mounted in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) serves as your Nissan's first line of defense against flying rocks or debris. As an example, if a truck speeds past your car and kicks a rock up straight toward your wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can stop the debris from affecting the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. Plus, this shield can help protect these parts from the elements, helping slow wear and tear.
Over time, when exposed to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may become worn, which negatively affects the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may crack or break if you accidentally hit a curb or encounter a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will probably generate a scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the nearby tire.
The good news: replacing one of the fender splash shields on your Nissan is affordable and easy to handle. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that will fit on your Nissa perfectly, so it's wise to order an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending on your vehicle model and year, the process of installing your new part may be slightly different. In most cases, you'll just need to have a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.
Begin by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, remove the clips and bolts that hold the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's advisable to go ahead and buy new fasteners, in case the existing hardware is worn). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) by holding it in place, carefully checking that all holes and rivets are aligned with the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once you're confident about the placement, screw or clip the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) onto your Nissan! For professional installation, head to a nearby Nissan service center.
