Detailed Product Description

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating (part number 320.35036F) are engineered specifically for Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML350, and ML430 vehicles. These rotors feature a fully coated disc and hat finish that helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. The vented rotor design with straight vanes enhances airflow, which aids in heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions.

With a nominal thickness of 1.024 inches (26.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.000 mm), these rotors maintain optimal braking performance throughout their lifespan. The smooth surface finish ensures consistent pad contact and braking efficiency. The rotor's outside diameter measures 11.929 inches (303.000 mm), and the overall height is 2.028 inches (51.500 mm), matching OEM specifications for proper fitment and function.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML350, ML430
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps prevent rust and corrosion-related rotor damage
• Improves heat management to reduce brake fade during heavy use
• Restores braking performance and safety to factory standards

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.000 mm) before installation. Clean the hub surface to remove rust or debris for proper rotor seating. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts (0.591 inches / 15.000 mm diameter) to avoid rotor warping. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings, so verify compatibility with your vehicle's braking system.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The full coating on both the disc and hat provides enhanced corrosion resistance, contributing to longer rotor life. While specific warranty details are not provided, Centric products typically come with a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
