Does replacing the front fender affect the car?
1 Answers
Replacing the front fender does not affect the car, as it is merely a sheet metal accessory. The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum clearance for the wheel's rotation and bouncing. Therefore, designers use wheel bounce diagrams based on the selected tire model and size to verify whether the fender's design dimensions are appropriate. The quality of the fender only affects the appearance and does not impact the overall performance of the car. However, during repairs, it is advisable to request the repair shop to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. The fender, also known as the wing panel, is categorized into front and rear fenders based on its installation position. It is a type of cover component used on motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles.
