front inner fender liner problem

chendaxian888 · 01-26-2021, 12:54 PM

I got my car lowed and front is lower than rear, my bumper is cracking everday but that not my problem. my front inner fender liner is wear to a big hole on it and all bolt is missing. should I replace it or just take it off? what is the result for take it off? will the rock hit the fender and jump in to engine part?

I'd raise the front an inch or so and replace the liner. YMMV

If u r on stock control arms, your alignment is no good anyway.

Is it 24 degrees, or 2.4 degrees? Which is it? The location of the period matters.

Changing tires won't change the alignment, if that's what you mean.

Changing tire size will not fix your problem - shorter tires will provide more wheel-well clearance but will lower the bumper even more.

Stop throwing parts on your car without understanding what you are doing. Most mods will have unintended effects on other systems - ofttimes those effects are adverse.

Do some research and planning. Almost every mod you can make to a 370Z has been discussed on this site. Save yourself a lot of headaches and read up on what other people have done.

Since all “bolts” are missing anyway, why don’t you:

jack up the car
remove the wheel
remove the liner
now head into the wheel well and look up

You’ll know right away whether the fender liner is needed on a street driven car.
