Fender Splash Shield.
- 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 INFINITI, the fender can help in safeguarding the wheels and undercarriage components from incoming road debris, shield pedestrians and vehicles from any rocks that may ricochet off your moving tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in case of a roadway accident.
On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender consists of several distinct parts, including a Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Specifically, your INFINITI's fender splash shield can be found to the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are custom designed to fit only in certain locations on your vehicle: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. They're also designed using the exact dimensions of particular INFINITI models and years.
Due to their positioning on your vehicle, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) is the outermost layer of defense against incoming debris and contamination. For example, if a tall SUV drives past your car and its tires send a rock right into your vehicle's wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) helps prevent the rock from getting stuck in the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. Plus, this shield can help protect these parts from outside elements, which could delay damage or corrosion.
With time and exposure to road salts, rain, ice, and heat, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can degrade, which compromises the protection it offers to your vehicle's undercarriage components. Additionally, it may crack or break if you scrape a curb or encounter a pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will likely create an annoying scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the nearby tire.
But, the good news is that installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your INFINITI is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You want a new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that attaches to your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's wise to buy directly from INFINITI Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the steps for installation may be slightly different. In most cases, all you need is your INFINITI owner's manual, a screwdriver, and some fasteners.
Before you do anything else, start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the clips and bolts that are attached to the old fender shield. If you're planning to reuse the fasteners, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's better to use new ones, in case your old hardware has been damaged). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) by holding it in place, ensuring any holes and rivets line up the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once you're confident about the placement, snap or screw the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) onto your INFINITI! For professional installation, stop by your nearest INFINITI service center.
