- 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 provide protection for your undercarriage and wheels from debris on the roadway, protect people and other cars from rocks and pebbles that may ricochet off your moving tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle if you're involved in a minor collision.
On quite a few Nissan models, the fender is made up of several distinct parts, 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 the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed to fit only in certain locations on your vehicle: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. They're also engineered for use in particular Nissan models and years.
With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) serves as your Nissan's first line of defense against damage from debris. For instance, if a truck speeds beside your Nissan and kicks a rock up into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can stop the object from getting stuck in the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. Additionally, the shield can offer protection for those parts from weather, which could slow wear and tear.
As it ages and endures exposure to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can degrade, which negatively affects the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may break or detach if you accidentally hit a curb or drive over a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it could also create an annoying grinding or tapping sound if a piece breaks off and flutters up against a tire.
The good news: replacing one of your Nissan's fender splash shields is affordable and easy to handle. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that fits your Nissan without any gaps, so it's wise to order directly from Nissan Parts. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may be slightly different. In most cases, you'll need the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
Before you do anything else, start by letting your car cool down. Next, remove the bolts and clips that hold the old fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's best to use new fastening pieces, in case the existing hardware is worn). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) by holding it inside your wheel well, carefully checking that all holes and rivets match the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once you're confident about the placement, snap or screw the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) into place and secure it! If you need help, stop by your nearest Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
