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 provide protection for your undercarriage and wheels from incoming road debris, shield people and vehicles from small pebbles that may ricochet off your spinning tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in case of a collision or "fender bender."

On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender consists of several distinct parts, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Very often, the fender splash shield on your INFINITI can be found inside the wheel well, and is situated between the fender and the tire. Fender splash shields are made-to-fit for a particular location on your INFINITI: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. These shields are also engineered for use in particular years and models of INFINITI vehicles.

With their carefully chosen position in the wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can be the first line of defense from incoming debris and contamination. For example, if a truck speeds past your car and kicks a rock up straight toward your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the rock from affecting the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your INFINITI. Plus, the shield can provide a barrier for these components from weather, which can help slow damage or corrosion.

Over time, when exposed to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) may become worn, which negatively affects the level of protection it can give to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may have cracks or chips if you hit a curb by accident or encounter a sizable pothole. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it could also create an annoying grinding or tapping sound if it is left to flutter up against a tire.

Here's the thing, though: installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your INFINITI is inexpensive and simple to do. You need a Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that fits your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's recommended that you order a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending upon what model and year you have, the process of installing your new part may be slightly different. In most cases, you'll just need to have your INFINITI owner's manual, a screwdriver, and some fasteners.

Before you do anything else, start by letting your car cool down. Next, remove the bolts and clips from the old fender shield. If you'll be reusing the same ones, set these small pieces aside (typically, it's advisable to go ahead and buy new fasteners, in case the existing hardware is worn). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), set it in place, carefully checking that all rivets and holes line up with the ones in your fender. After you've aligned everything, snap or screw the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) onto your INFINITI! For professional installation, head to your nearest INFINITI service site or dealership.
