• 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 provide protection for the wheels and undercarriage components from debris on the roadway, shield pedestrians and other cars from rocks and pebbles that might deflect from your spinning tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in case of a collision or "fender bender."

For some Nissan models, the fender consists of multiple components, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Specifically, the Nissan fender splash shield is attached to the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for specific fitment within your vehicle: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're made for use in particular Nissan models and years.

With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can be your Nissan's outermost layer of defense from flying rocks or debris. As an example, if a truck drives beside your Nissan and kicks a rock up into your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the object from getting stuck in the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. And, the shield can provide a barrier for these components from weather, which can help delay wear and tear.

With time and exposure to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your Nissan Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can degrade, which negatively affects its ability to protect the undercarriage of your vehicle. Keep in mind, it may also crack or break if you scrape a curb or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will probably create an annoying scraping or flapping noise if it is left to flutter up against a tire.

But, the good news is that installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your Nissan is easy and inexpensive. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that attaches to your Nissan seamlessly, so it's a good idea to order an authentic part from Nissan Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the steps for installation may vary slightly. Most of the time, all you need is the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.

You'll start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the bolts and clips from the old fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (usually, it's advisable to purchase new ones, in case your old hardware has been damaged). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), set it in the appropriate position, checking to be sure that all rivets and holes match the holes on your fender. Once you're confident about the placement, screw or clip your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) into place! For professional installation, head to your nearest Nissan service site or dealership.
