Where is the fender located?
2 Answers
The fender is located inside the car's engine compartment. The specific steps to find the car fender are as follows: 1. Open the car door. 2. Pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area. 3. Lift up the car's engine hood. 4. Use the support rod to secure the engine hood, ensuring it's firmly propped to avoid hazards during operation. 5. The car's fender is located beneath the engine hood, inside the engine compartment, adjacent to the small coolant reservoir on the left side of the engine.
As an auto mechanic, I work with various vehicles every day. The fender is the body panel that covers the wheel area, specifically the metal or plastic panel above the front and rear wheels. In the vehicle body structure, the front fender connects directly to the hood and the area below the doors, serving to protect the wheels from impacts by debris, stones, etc., while also supporting certain components. The rear fender surrounds the rear wheel and extends near the trunk or rear door, sometimes connecting to the rear bumper. During repairs, I often find fenders dented from scrapes or collisions, requiring sanding or replacement. Especially when driving in the rain, fenders prevent mud and water from splashing into door seams, which can cause rust. Their position is relatively fixed, but their shape varies slightly between different vehicle types like SUVs and sedans, and materials range from traditional steel to lightweight plastic. If a fender is misaligned, it may be due to improper positioning after an accident. I recommend car owners regularly check to ensure the mounting points are secure, preventing detachment and bigger issues. Repair costs are generally low, but the overall design affects aerodynamics and safety.
