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
On your INFINITI, the fender can help in safeguarding your undercarriage and wheels from flying debris, protect people and other vehicles from rocks and pebbles that may bounce off your tires, and protect your vehicle in case of a roadway accident.
On quite a few INFINITI models, the fender has multiple components, one of which is the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). To get more specific, the INFINITI fender splash shield is attached to the wheel well, and sits between the fender and the tire. All fender splash shields are tailor-made for a particular location on your INFINITI: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're made 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 INFINITI's first layer of protection against damage from debris. For instance, if a truck speeds beside your INFINITI and kicks a rock up right into your vehicle's wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the rock from affecting the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your INFINITI. Additionally, this shield can help protect these parts from the elements, which can help delay damage or corrosion.
With time and exposure to moisture, rain, ice, and road salt, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can break down, losing the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may crack or break if you accidentally hit a curb or drive through a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) leaves that side of your vehicle exposed, and it will likely create an annoying flapping or grinding noise if it is left to flutter against the nearby tire.
The good news: replacing one 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 perfectly, so it's recommended that you buy a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your specific vehicle, the process of installing your new part may vary slightly. For most vehicles, you'll just need to have the correct fasteners, a screwdriver, and your vehicle owner's manual.
Begin by giving your car a few minutes to cool. Next, remove the clips and bolts that hold your current fender shield. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (typically, it's best to go ahead and buy new fastening pieces, just in case the old components are worn out). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), set it inside your wheel well, ensuring any holes and rivets are aligned with the holes on your fender. Once everything is aligned, snap or screw the replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) onto your INFINITI! For professional installation, stop by your nearest INFINITI service site or dealership.
