Where is the fender located on a car?
1 Answers
The fender is located in the semi-circular area directly above the car tire. It not only helps reduce the drag coefficient during driving based on aerodynamics, greatly aiding the car's stability, but also prevents gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underside of the vehicle body, thereby protecting the car's chassis. The front fender is installed near the front wheels. Since the front wheels have a steering function, it is essential to ensure the maximum clearance for the front wheels when turning. Therefore, designers use wheel travel diagrams based on the selected tire model and size to verify the fender's design dimensions. The rear fender does not face issues related to wheel rotation and contact, but for aerodynamic considerations, it features a slightly arched curve that protrudes outward.
