What are the effects of replacing the front fender?
1 Answers
Replacing the front fender has no impact, as the fender is merely a sheet metal accessory. The front fender is installed at the front wheel area and must ensure the maximum clearance for wheel rotation and movement. Therefore, designers verify the suitability of the fender's dimensions based on the selected tire model and size. The fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheel, named for its resemblance to a bird's wing in older vehicle designs. Depending on the installation position, fenders are categorized into front and rear fenders. The rear fender does not face issues with wheel rotation interference but is slightly arched and protrudes outward for aerodynamic considerations. In some cars, the fender is integrated into the body as a single piece during production.
