Is It Normal for Both Fenders Near the Headlights to Get Hot?

[DelAdriel]

During vehicle operation, the engine generates heat, causing the fenders and hood to become warm. If you feel excessive heat after driving, it is recommended to visit a repair shop to check whether the engine is overheating and if the cooling fan is functioning properly. Below is relevant information about fenders: 1. Introduction: A fender is an exterior body panel that covers the wheel, named for its resemblance to a bird's wing in older vehicle designs. Based on installation location, fenders are categorized into front and rear fenders. The front fender is installed near the front wheel and must accommodate the maximum space required for wheel rotation and bouncing. Therefore, designers use "wheel travel diagrams" based on selected tire models and sizes to verify whether the fender's dimensions are appropriate. 2. Function: The primary role of a fender is to prevent gravel, mud, and other debris kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underbody of the vehicle during driving. As a result, the materials used must be weather-resistant and have good formability. Some vehicles feature front fenders made of slightly elastic plastic materials.
