Which part does the fender of a sedan refer to?
1 Answers
The fender of a sedan is located on the outer side of the body near the wheel, specifically the semi-circular area directly above the tire. Functions of the fender: The fender not only reduces the aerodynamic drag coefficient during driving, which greatly enhances the vehicle's stability, but also prevents gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underbody, thereby protecting the car's chassis. Fender cracking: If the fender cracks, it is likely due to being too thin, making it unable to withstand the torsional deformation of the front beam. In such cases, reinforcing the fender with a "steel mesh" welding method can be employed. This not only ensures the original deformation capacity but also improves the overall toughness of the fender.
