• 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 in safeguarding the wheels and undercarriage components from flying debris, protect people and other vehicles from rocks and pebbles that might deflect from your tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in the event of a roadway accident.

On quite a few Nissan models, the fender is made up of several distinct parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front). Specifically, your Nissan's fender splash shield is attached to the wheel well, and sits between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit 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 made with respect to the measurements of specific Nissan years and models.

With their carefully chosen position on your vehicle, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) is your Nissan's first layer of protection against damage from debris. For instance, if a truck speeds past your car and kicks a rock up right into your vehicle's wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can help prevent the object from affecting the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. Plus, the shield can offer protection for those parts from outside elements, which could prevent premature wear and tear.

With time and exposure to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) can degrade, which negatively affects its ability to protect your vehicle's complex systems. Plus, it can break or detach if you hit a curb by accident or smash into a pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will probably make a flapping or grinding noise if a broken piece is pushed up against a 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 want a new Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) that fits your Nissa perfectly, so it's wise to purchase an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the replacement process may be slightly different. In most cases, 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 clips and bolts that are attached to your current fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (typically, it's best to use new fastening pieces, in case the existing hardware is worn). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield (Right, Front) replacement by setting 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, stop by a local Nissan dealer or authorized service center.
