Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Fusion
• Lincoln MKZ
• Mazda Milan
• Mercury Zephyr

This rotor is designed specifically for these models, ensuring proper fitment and performance when replacing worn or damaged rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from inadequate heat dissipation
• Uneven brake pad wear from surface irregularities
• Noise and vibration during braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.0 mm) before installation. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or contaminants. Verify the mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) and stud/lug hole specifications for proper fit. Since bearings and ABS tone rings are not included, reuse existing components or replace separately as needed.
