What is a fender?

[StAngelo]

Automobile fenders, also known as wings, are located on the outer body of the wheel, specifically the semicircular area directly above the tire. Meaning of fenders: Fenders, also referred to as wings, are divided into front fenders and rear fenders based on their installation position. They are a type of covering component on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Components of fenders: Front fender, front fender liner, front fender lamp, rear fender lamp, radiator frame. Function of fenders: Fenders, also known as wings (named after their shape and position resembling bird wings on older vehicle bodies), are outer body panels that cover the wheels. Their function, based on fluid dynamics, is to reduce the drag coefficient, making the vehicle's movement more stable. Front fenders prevent gravel and mud splashed up by the wheels during driving from reaching the bottom of the vehicle compartment, thereby reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis.
