The fender on your INFINITI is designed to help in safeguarding your wheels and undercarriage from flying debris, protect nearby people or vehicles from small pebbles that might deflect from your moving tires, and protect your vehicle's frame if you're involved in a collision or "fender bender."

In many INFINITI models, the fender consists of multiple components, and one of those is the Fender Splash Shield. Very often, your INFINITI's fender splash shield is mounted to the wheel well, and sits between your tire and the rest of the fender. Fender splash shields are custom designed to fit only in certain locations on your car: driver-side front, driver-side rear, passenger-side front, or passenger-side rear. Additionally, they're engineered with respect to the measurements of particular INFINITI models and years.

With their carefully chosen position within your wheel well, your Fender Splash Shield is your first line of defense from incoming debris and contamination. For instance, if a tall SUV drives past your vehicle and its tires send a rock into your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield helps prevent the rock from affecting the brakes, headlight or tail light assemblies, or undercarriage. Plus, the Fender Splash Shield may provide a barrier for these components from the elements, which can help slow wear and tear.

With time and exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your INFINITI produdct_name}} can break down, which negatively affects its ability to protect the undercarriage of your vehicle. Additionally, it may have cracks or chips if you hit a curb by accident or drive over a pothole while you're driving at a high speed. A broken Fender Splash Shield exposes your vehicle to dangerous debris, and it will probably generate a flapping or grinding noise if a broken piece is pushed against the tires.

Here's the thing, though: replacing one of your vehicle's fender splash shields is easy and inexpensive. You'll need a replacement Fender Splash Shield that will fit on your INFINITI seamlessly, so it's a good idea to order a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your specific vehicle, the steps for installation may vary slightly. In most cases, all you need is a screwdriver, fasteners, and your INFINITI owner's manual.

You'll start by letting your car cool down. Then, remove the bolts and clips that are attached to the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, stash them in a safe place until you need them again (usually, it's better to purchase new ones, in case your old hardware has been damaged). To test the fit of your new Fender Splash Shield, set it in the appropriate position, carefully checking that all rivets and holes match the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once everything is aligned, screw or clip your new Fender Splash Shield into place! For professional installation, visit a nearby INFINITI service site or dealership.
