Wheel Housing
The wheel house, also known as a fender well or wheel well, is the part of the vehicle's body that surrounds and protects the wheel and tire. It is typically made of steel or plastic and is located on the sides of the vehicle above each tire. The wheel housing has two main functions: first, it prevents dirt, water, and other debris from getting into the vehicle's interior and onto other parts of the car. Second, it protects the body of the vehicle from damage caused by rocks, debris, or other objects that may be thrown up by the tire. The wheel housing also helps to reduce aerodynamic drag by smoothing out the airflow around the wheel and tire. In some cases, the wheel housing may also have an aerodynamic shape designed to improve fuel efficiency. Wheel housings are typically designed to match the style of the vehicle and are available in a range of colors and materials. Overall, the wheel housing is an essential component of the vehicle's body, providing protection and functionality while also contributing to the vehicle's aesthetics.
When choosing a wheelhouse, first confirm the year, make, and model of the vehicle. Then, from the remaining compatible wheelhousing options, select the part number that matches your application and budget needs.
