• Smooth friction surface for even pad contact
• High carbon alloy with molybdenum and chromium content to help resist cracking under repeated stops
• Increased carbon and chromium content to improve oxidation resistance
• Outside diameter: 14.290 in. / 363.000 mm
• Nominal thickness: 1.270 in. / 32.400 mm; discard thickness: 1.201 in. / 30.500 mm
• 5-lug pattern with 114.000 mm bolt circle and 70.900 mm center hole diameter

Product Details

The Centric Premium High Carbon Alloy Disc Brake Rotors line is engineered for drivers who need stable braking performance under higher friction pad compounds and repeated stop conditions. For Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator front brake applications, part number 125.65164 combines a vented construction with a high carbon alloy blend that helps reduce pad squeal, improve friction coupling, and maintain rotor integrity during performance-oriented driving. The coated hat finish also supports long-term appearance and corrosion resistance in the hub area.

This part cross-references Ford/Lincoln OE numbers L1MZ1125B and L1MZ1125C for the same application. Use 125.65164 when servicing front brake systems on 2020-2024 Ford Explorer and 2020-2024 Lincoln Aviator configurations listed below.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal associated with higher-friction pad compounds
• Rotor cracking during repeated hard stops or performance use
• Brake fade concerns from heat buildup in front braking
• Uneven pad contact on worn or heat-stressed rotors
• Surface oxidation on exposed rotor areas

Before installation, verify rotor diameter, center hole diameter, bolt circle, and vane style against the removed part. Clean the friction surfaces before service and inspect pads, caliper hardware, and hub condition so the new rotor seats correctly. Part number 125.65164 is a front axle rotor only and is not listed with ABS tone ring, bearings, or mounting hardware.

Quality Assurance

Centric’s Premium High Carbon Alloy rotor line uses advanced metallurgy and coated corrosion-resistant features to support consistent brake performance in demanding applications. The material blend is formulated to improve resistance to cracking and oxidation while maintaining stable braking characteristics for the listed Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator fitments.
