What is the name of the shield above the wheels?

[SanAlaina]

Automobile The shield above the car tire is called the inner fender liner or wheel well liner. It serves to block mud and dust and is installed behind all four tires of the car. The front two tire mud flaps are located on the left and right lower sills, while the rear two mud flaps are positioned on the rear bumper. Below is additional information about mud flaps: 1. Mud flaps protrude 5cm beyond the body, effectively preventing sand or particles splashed during driving from damaging the car's paint. 2. They reduce the car's ground clearance, affecting its off-road capability. The entire mud guard consists of two parts: the outer protruding section is the wheel arch, typically black in color, and the inner layer is the liner panel. The mud flap is composed of the wheel arch and the liner panel. This design enhances aesthetics, reduces the drag coefficient, and ensures smoother driving.
