The rotor’s overall height is 1.752 inches (44.500 mm), and it has an outside diameter of 10.945 inches (278.000 mm), matching OEM fitment requirements for the Ford Transit Connect. The floating disc mounting style allows for slight movement to reduce stress and improve rotor longevity. The rotor includes five stud/lug holes with a diameter of 0.543 inches (13.800 mm) and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.252 inches (108.000 mm). This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Transit Connect
• Addresses brake pulsation and vibration issues
• Improves braking consistency and heat management
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking
• Suitable for routine maintenance and brake system overhauls

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness specification of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm). Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts and confirm the floating disc mounting is correctly aligned.
