Which Part is the Fender?

[Daniel]

The fender is the body panel that covers the wheel, named for its resemblance in shape and position to a bird's wing on older vehicle bodies. Here is relevant information: 1. Fender: Based on installation location, it is divided into front fender and rear fender. The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum clearance for the front wheel's rotation and bounce. Therefore, designers use "wheel bounce diagrams" to verify whether the fender's design dimensions are appropriate based on the selected tire model and size. 2. Function: The fender's role is to prevent gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underbody of the vehicle during driving. Thus, the materials used must be weather-resistant and have good formability and processability. Some vehicles' front fenders are made of a certain elastic plastic material. Plastic materials have cushioning properties, making them safer.
