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 protect your undercarriage and wheels from debris on the roadway, shield pedestrians and vehicles from rocks and pebbles that might deflect from your tires, and minimize damage to your vehicle in the event of a minor collision.
On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender has multiple components, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Right). To get more specific, your INFINITI's fender splash shield is mounted to the inside of the wheel well, and sits between your tire and the rest of the fender. All fender splash shields are tailor-made for specific fitment within your car: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. They're also made with respect to the measurements of specific INFINITI years and models.
Due to their positioning on your vehicle, your Fender Splash Shield (Right) is your INFINITI's outermost layer of defense against damage from debris. For instance, if a tall SUV drives past your vehicle and kicks a rock up right into your vehicle's wheel well, your trusty Fender Splash Shield (Right) can help prevent the rock from affecting the undercarriage, brake system, or headlight assembly. Additionally, the shield can offer protection for those parts from outside elements, helping delay damage or corrosion.
Over time, when exposed to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Right) can degrade, losing the level of protection it can give to your vehicle's undercarriage components. Keep in mind, it may also have cracks or chips if you hit a curb by accident or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. If it's broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Right) exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will probably generate a scraping or flapping noise if it is left to flutter against the tires.
The good news: installing a replacement for your INFINITI's fender splash shields is fairly easy to do (and it's not expensive!). You need a Fender Splash Shield (Right) that will fit on your INFINITI without any gaps, so it's recommended that you purchase an authentic part from INFINITI Parts. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation can vary a bit. For most vehicles, you'll just need to have a screwdriver, fasteners, and your INFINITI owner's manual.
Begin by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Then, remove the clips and bolts that hold your current fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set them aside for a few minutes (typically, it's advisable to use new ones, just in case the old components are worn out). Test the fitment of your Fender Splash Shield (Right) replacement by setting it in place, ensuring any rivets and holes match with the ones in your fender. Once everything is aligned, screw or clip your new Fender Splash Shield (Right) into place! If you need help, visit your nearest INFINITI retailer or authorized service center.
