On your Nissan, the fender can help protect your wheels and undercarriage from flying debris, shield nearby people or vehicles from any rocks that may bounce off your moving tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in case of a roadway accident.

In many Nissan models, the fender has several distinct parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield. Very often, your Nissan's fender splash shield is mounted to the inside of the wheel well, and sits in between the fender frame and your tire. Fender splash shields are custom designed to fit only in certain locations on your car: passenger-side front, driver-side front, passenger-side rear, and driver-side rear. These shields are also made with respect to the measurements of particular Nissan models and years.

With their carefully chosen position on your vehicle, the Fender Splash Shield serves as your first line of defense from incoming debris and contamination. As an example, if a truck speeds beside your Nissan and its large tires throw a pebble right into your vehicle's wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield helps prevent the object from bouncing into the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your Nissan. Plus, the shield can offer protection for those parts from weather, which can help slow wear and tear.

Over time, when exposed to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield may become worn, which negatively affects the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's undercarriage components. Keep in mind, it may also have cracks or chips if you hit a curb by accident or drive over a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it could also make a scraping or flapping noise if a piece breaks off and flutters up against a tire.

But, the good news is that replacing one of your Nissan's fender splash shields is inexpensive and simple to do. You want a new Fender Splash Shield that will fit on your Nissan seamlessly, so it's wise to order directly from Nissan Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the replacement process may vary slightly. In most cases, all you need is a screwdriver, fasteners, and your Nissan owner's manual.

Begin by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Next, remove the bolts and clips from the old fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (typically, it's better to purchase new fasteners, in case your old hardware has been damaged). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield replacement by setting it in the appropriate position, carefully checking that all holes and rivets are aligned with with the ones in your fender. After you've aligned everything, bolt or snap the Fender Splash Shield into place and secure it! For professional installation, visit a nearby Nissan service center.
