Where is the front fender located?

The front fender is installed at the front wheel. Below is an introduction about fenders: 1. Introduction: The fender (also known as wing panel) is a type of cover component on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, divided into front fender and rear fender based on installation position. 2. Function of front fender: The front fender prevents sand, stones, and mud stirred up by the wheels from splashing onto the bottom of the vehicle body during driving, thereby reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis. Therefore, the materials used must be weather-resistant and have good formability. Currently, many vehicles use plastic materials with certain elasticity for the front fender, providing some buffering effect for enhanced safety. 3. Rear fender: The rear fender does not face the issue of wheel rotation contact, but for aerodynamic considerations, it typically features a slightly arched curve and outward protrusion. Some car models integrate the fender with the vehicle body as a single unit, while others have independent fenders—especially the front fender—since it is more prone to collisions, making independent installation easier for complete replacement.
The front fender is the panel above the front wheel of the car. I always notice it while driving, especially on rainy days when it prevents mud and water from splashing onto the windows or the side of the car. Specifically, it's located right above the front wheel, connecting the hood and the door—you can easily reach out and touch it. Not only does it block mud, but it also protects the wheel and suspension system from being damaged by flying stones. Without it, gravel kicked up from the road could cause serious trouble. Additionally, minor scratches are most common here, so be careful not to park too close to the curb to avoid dings. I recommend checking regularly for cracks or rust and touching up the paint promptly to extend its lifespan, as this is a crucial protective part of the car body. Overall, it gives the car a sleeker look and enhances safety.
