The curved design over the wheels of your latest Nissan car is due to Nissan fenders. These are replaceable parts whose job is to prevent road debris from flying around and keep your vehicle safe in case of a mild collision.

 

Could fenders damage easily?

The prime function of these parts is to keep the flying debris within the vehicle body so it doesn’t fly around and spoil the vehicle body. Their curved design allows ample space for the debris to fly around without coming out. Also, the design helps maintain a safe distance from others. Fenders can get crushed only when the colliding force is greater than the strength of the parts. But they can easily withstand mild force.

 

Could the damaged fenders be repaired?

Yes, repairing is always an option but a decision about repairing damaged fenders should be taken only after assessing the damage. For example, fewer dents can be removed but deeply dented parts should be replaced with new Nissan fenders.

Whether you want to repair or replace the damaged fenders, you should take the help of an experienced automobile engineer. If you are going for repair, you should make sure that the repair work shouldn’t strip the damaged part of its strength.

 

What is the average lifespan of a fender?

Your Nissan fenders could last about 15 to 20 years depending on the use and upkeep. The biggest enemy of your fenders is road debris which includes mud. Sticky mud contains water and water can corrode the parts from within. If you drive your vehicle on muddy roads, you should be more careful about the cleanliness of the fenders.

For replacing fenders, you will need molding, trim, inner fender, and fender brace. But you will get these parts packed with new fenders. Replacing damaged fenders will give a new lease of life to your vehicle body.
