Advantages and Disadvantages of Car Fenders

September 23,2022

A car fender is a plate mounted on the outer frame of the four wheels. It is generally made of rubber.

It is mainly used to block the muddy water and sand particles splashed by the wheels during driving, which can protect the car paint well.

Advantages and disadvantages of installing car fender

✔️Advantage

The car fenders are usually made of high-quality rubber and are installed behind the four tires of the car. First of all, it can effectively prevent the muddy water driven by the car from splashing on the body, which can reduce the number of car washes. It can also prevent muddy water from splashing on people and soiling the clothes of passersby.

Secondly, the fenders can protect the mechanical structure of the car. On rainy days, muddy water from the road can get into the car's mechanical structure, causing it to rust prematurely. In daily life, roadside stones will be thrown onto the car body through the tires, thereby damaging the car paint.

The fenders provide protection. So many car owners will install fenders.

✔️Disadvantage

First of all, the installation of fenders will reduce the overall aesthetics of the car, and secondly, the installation of fenders will reduce the height of the car chassis, which will affect the passability of the car. In addition, the installation of car fenders will increase the wind resistance of the car, especially when running at high speed, it will cause the vehicle to be unstable.

Fenders installed, the turbulence at the rear of the car will be greater than the original model. And the resistance will be greater. When our car is driving at high speed, it will be subjected to very large air resistance. When the speed of our car exceeds 80km/h, the air resistance can account for about 60% of the total resistance of the car.
