Bendix Friction SDR5768 Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Bendix Severe Duty Rotor SDR for Fleet Use

The Bendix Friction SDR5768 is a rear disc brake rotor built for severe-duty braking demands on work trucks, fleet vehicles, and pursuit applications. It is engineered with OEM vane configurations, mill balancing, and machining to OEM-driven specifications for consistent fit and braking performance.

Compatible with 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 rear and 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500 rear with vented rotors, this Bendix Severe Duty Rotor SDR application is focused on demanding service conditions. The SDR5768 is a direct-fit option for owners maintaining a Dodge Sprinter 2500 or Dodge Sprinter 3500 brake system.

Key Features

• Mill balanced with machining specifications based on OEM requirements
• Focused range for police and fleet service
• OEM vane configurations for proper airflow and rotor design match
• Manufacturing control with precise machining tolerances
• ACP alloyed-carbon performance casting for thermal stability and strength

Product Line Details

The Bendix Severe Duty Rotor SDR line is built for severe-duty braking environments where heat management, dimensional control, and repeatable performance matter. This product line emphasizes rotor construction and machining consistency for vehicles that see frequent stops, heavy loads, or extended service intervals.

Detailed Description

Part number SDR5768 is a rear brake rotor from Bendix Friction’s Severe Duty Rotor SDR line. It uses alloyed-carbon performance castings to help maintain strength and thermal stability under demanding braking conditions, while OEM vane configurations and controlled machining tolerances support proper rotor geometry. For fleet maintenance on a Dodge Sprinter 2500 or Dodge Sprinter 3500, this rotor provides a service-focused replacement option for vented rear rotor applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake rotor wear from repeated heavy-duty stops
• Heat buildup during fleet or pursuit driving
• Brake pulsation related to rotor machining variation
• Fitment issues on rear vented rotor applications
• Service downtime from inconsistent rotor replacement parts

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500, rear, with vented rotors.
• Fits 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500, rear, with vented rotors.
• Confirm rotor style and rear axle application before installation.
• Inspect pads, calipers, and hub surfaces during rotor replacement.
• Follow vehicle service procedures for torque and bedding after installation.

Quality Assurance

Bendix Friction manufactures this rotor with controlled machining tolerances, mill balancing, and OEM-driven specifications to support consistent quality for severe-duty service. The ACP alloyed-carbon casting construction is selected for durability in demanding braking environments.
