How to Install Mudguards on the Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
The installation steps for the Nissan Sylphy mudguards are as follows: First, clean the car body; second, remove the original screws; third, align the mudguards with the car direction and tighten the screws to complete the installation. Here is an introduction to mudguards: As the name suggests, car mudguards are used to block mud. They are installed behind the four tires of the car, with the front two fixed on the left and right lower sills and the rear two fixed on the rear bumper. Their functions are as follows: 1. To prevent mud from splashing onto the car body, which would make the car look unattractive. 2. To prevent mud from splashing onto the tie rods and ball joints, causing premature rust. 3. Small stones can easily get stuck in the tire treads of a car, and when driving at high speeds, these stones can be flung onto the car body, chipping the paint. Mudguards can help prevent paint chipping to some extent.
Installing mud flaps on the Nissan Sylphy has always been a smooth process for me. Prepare a screwdriver and wrench, find a safe spot to park, and remember to use jack stands when lifting the car with a jack to prevent it from collapsing. Remove the original mounting screws and clean any rust or damaged holes. Align the new mud flaps with the bolt holes on the wheel arch, then slowly tighten the screws without over-tightening to avoid deforming the plastic. After my last installation, I took a test drive to ensure there were no strange noises, which gave me peace of mind. The benefit is that they block mud and water, keeping the car body clean and reducing the frequency of car washes, which saves money. I recommend periodically checking the screws for looseness and cleaning the mud flaps in winter to prevent clogging. The whole process takes less than half an hour, saving money and protecting the car. The bolt hole design on the Sylphy is well thought out, making alignment easy.
