About the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-3500-Xd Fender

Fenders are the body panels that cover the front wheels, protecting the vehicle and passengers from road debris, mud, and water spray. Fender damage from minor accidents, parking lot mishaps, and curb strikes is extremely common, making fenders one of the most frequently replaced body parts. A used fender in matching color can save significant money over body shop repairs.

Replacement Guide

Front fender replacement is a moderate DIY job. The fender typically bolts to the inner fender apron, cowl area, and sometimes the rocker panel. Replacement involves: removing the wheel for access, removing the inner fender liner, disconnecting any wiring for lights, removing bumper cover or grille sections if they overlap, removing fender bolts (usually 8-15), and lifting off the fender. Installation is the reverse, with careful alignment to ensure even gaps with hood and door. Color-matched fenders eliminate painting costs.
