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 incoming road debris, protect pedestrians and other vehicles from small pebbles that might deflect from your moving tires, and protect your vehicle's frame in case of a minor collision.

In many INFINITI models, the fender has several distinct parts, including a Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front). Very often, 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. Fender splash shields are custom designed for specific fitment within your car: passenger-side front, passenger-side rear, driver-side front, or driver-side rear. Additionally, they're engineered for use in specific INFINITI years and models.

With their carefully chosen position within your wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can be your first layer of protection against incoming debris and contamination. For instance, if a tall SUV drives past your vehicle and kicks a rock up right into your vehicle's wheel well, the Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can help prevent the object from affecting the headlight assembly, braking system, or undercarriage of your INFINITI. And, this shield can help protect these parts from outside elements, helping slow wear and tear.

As it ages and endures exposure to rain, ice, roadway salt and debris, your INFINITI Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can degrade, which compromises the protection it offers to the undercarriage of your vehicle. Plus, it can crack or break if you scrape a curb or smash into a sizable pothole. When broken, your Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) can leave part of your vehicle vulnerable to debris, and it will probably make a scraping or flapping noise if a broken piece is pushed against the nearby tire.

But, the good news is that installing a replacement for the fender splash shields on your INFINITI is affordable and easy to handle. You want a new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) that will fit on your INFINITI seamlessly, so it's recommended that you purchase a genuine OEM part from INFINITI directly. Depending on your specific vehicle, the replacement process can vary a bit. For most vehicles, all you need is your INFINITI owner's manual, a screwdriver, and some fasteners.

You'll start by letting your car cool down. Then, remove the bolts and clips that hold the fender shield on your vehicle now. If you plan to reuse the old bolts and clips, set them aside for a few minutes (usually, it's best to go ahead and buy new fasteners, 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, checking to be sure that all rivets and holes are aligned with the notches and holes in the fender piece. Once everything is aligned, screw or clip your new Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front) into place! If you need help, stop by a local INFINITI retailer or authorized service center.

With a little bit of time and an OEM replacement Fender Splash Shield (Left, Front), you and your INFINITI can be back up to speed with confidence!
