Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake rotor 121.62106 is designed with a vented rotor type that incorporates straight vanes to enhance airflow and heat dissipation during braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 1.181 inches (30 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 1.122 inches (28.5 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The overall height measures 2.008 inches (51 mm), and the rotor mounts using a floating disc system, which helps reduce stress and improve braking smoothness. The 5-lug hole pattern with a 120 mm bolt circle diameter and 0.654 inch (16.6 mm) lug hole diameter matches the specifications required for Cadillac CTS models. This rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Cadillac CTS vehicles
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Suitable for routine brake system maintenance and repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor dimensions and bolt pattern compatibility with your Cadillac CTS before installation
• Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris prior to mounting
