Protector Fender.
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

Your INFINITI fender's job is to help in safeguarding your wheels and undercarriage from debris on the roadway, protect people and other vehicles from any rocks that may ricochet off your tires, and protect your vehicle in case of a roadway accident.

In many INFINITI models, the fender has several distinct parts, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Very often, your INFINITI's fender splash shield is attached to the inside of the wheel well, and creates a barrier between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for a particular location on your vehicle: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. These shields are also designed for use in particular INFINITI models and years.

Because of where they're mounted within your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) is your first line of defense against flying rocks or debris. For instance, if a truck speeds past your car and its large tires throw a pebble into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the rock from bouncing into the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. Plus, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may help protect these parts from weather, which could delay corrosion and wear.

As it ages and endures exposure to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can break down, which negatively affects the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's undercarriage components. Additionally, it may have cracks or chips 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) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will likely create an annoying scraping or flapping noise if a piece breaks off and flutters up against a tire.

Here's the thing, though: replacing any of the fender splash shields on your INFINITI is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that attaches to your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's recommended that you buy directly from INFINITI Parts. Depending upon what model and year you have, the process of installing your new part may vary slightly. Most of the time, all you need is the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.

Before you do anything else, start by allowing your car to cool down for several minutes. Then, take off the bolts and clips from the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set these small pieces aside (usually, it's better to go ahead and buy new ones, just in case the old components are worn out). Dry fit the new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) by holding it inside your wheel well, carefully checking that all holes and rivets are aligned with the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once everything is aligned, snap or screw the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) into place and secure it! For help with this process, head to your nearest INFINITI retailer or authorized service center.
