Q: What are fender washers? Why buy them?
A: Fender washers are specially designed, large diameter washers that have an increased surface area which helps when securing body panels to your vehicle. The increased surface area spreads the load to prevent panel distortion so that your body lines stay straight and your panels stay secure at the same time. If you are replacing panels on your vehicle it is always a good idea to start with a fresh set of fender washers. Reusing old washers can lead to premature rusting and corrosion that will quickly damage your brand new panels. In addition to stock fender washers there are also custom logoed fender washers available that will give your ride a trick race car look without spending a lot of money.
