Where is the fender located?
2 Answers
The fender is located at: 1. Above the front tires, between the front door, hood, and bumper; 2. Above the rear tires and behind the rear door. The function of the fender is: utilizing fluid dynamics to reduce the drag coefficient, making the vehicle run more smoothly. The fender is also called a wing panel, and can be divided into front fender and rear fender according to its position. The replacement method is: 1. Support the chassis with a jack, then remove the tire; 2. Remove the screws or clips fixing the fender liner, and take off the fender; 3. Clean the mud and sand under the fender, and install the new fender.
The fender is that large panel above the wheel, present on both front and rear wheels, one on each side. It primarily serves a protective function, preventing mud or small stones from splashing and dirtying the car body. Having driven for over twenty years, I often see fenders on cars scratched and dented, especially when parking in old residential areas where a slight brush against a wall or roadside flower bed can easily deform the fender, making repairs quite troublesome. Typically made of steel sheets, fenders can rust over time without proper maintenance, not only affecting the car's overall appearance but also potentially allowing rainwater to seep into the body. It's advisable to rinse them thoroughly during regular car washes to prevent thick mud buildup, which can extend the car's lifespan and reduce repair costs. In short, the fender is one of the most visible parts of the car's side, its position obvious, but poor protection can lead to significant issues.
