Featuring cross-drilled surfaces, these rotors help dissipate heat more effectively than standard rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The vented design with pillar-style vanes further enhances cooling, making this product line suitable for Mercedes-Benz SUVs such as the GL350 and ML400. This rotor line maintains OEM fitment and quality standards, ensuring compatibility and reliable braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Centric disc brake rotor, part number 228.35138, is specifically engineered for Mercedes-Benz GL350, GL450, GLS450, ML350, and ML400 models. The rotor features a vented design with pillar-style vanes that promote airflow and heat dissipation, helping to maintain consistent braking performance under demanding conditions. The cross-drilled surface reduces heat buildup and assists in water and debris evacuation from the braking surface. With a nominal thickness of 1.260 inches and a discard thickness of 1.157 inches, this rotor meets strict wear specifications to ensure safety and longevity. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight movement to reduce stress and improve rotor alignment. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 13.780 inches, with a center hole diameter of 2.638 inches and a mounting bolt circle diameter of 4.409 inches, accommodating five lug holes sized at 0.594 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses rotor surface corrosion and scoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible upgrade for Mercedes-Benz GL350, GL450, GLS450, ML350, and ML400 brake systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor thickness is within discard limits before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications for proper fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck for ABS tone ring compatibility; this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and replace if worn to optimize rotor performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentric manufactures the C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
