Detailed Product Information

This Centric Premium rotor is engineered for front brake applications that require a 256 mm vented disc with a floating disc mounting design. The coated hat helps protect exposed metal surfaces, while the smooth braking face supports consistent pad contact. If you are replacing worn front rotors on a Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Cabrio, Passat, or Quantum, 120.33023 matches the listed diameter, thickness, and bolt pattern requirements.

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

Common Brake Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Brake pulsation from rotor wear or thickness variation
• Reduced braking performance from a rotor below discard thickness
• Corrosion on the hat or outer edge of the rotor
• Noise caused by uneven or damaged rotor surfaces
• Front brake service needs on listed Volkswagen models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, center hole size, bolt circle, and vented construction before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake pulsation. Always inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition during rotor replacement, and confirm the rotor meets the vehicle’s front brake specification for your Volkswagen application.

Quality Assurance

Centric Premium rotors use a resin-modified protective coating on the hat and edge, with corrosion resistance validated through 120 hours of salt chamber testing. The product line is positioned as a premium replacement option for consistent fit and finish on the listed Volkswagen front brake applications.
