Centric 320.42067F Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Centric GCX Front Brake Rotor for Nissan Frontier

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor, part number 320.42067F, is built for front axle service on the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier. It combines OE-style fitment with a fully coated finish to help resist rust on exposed surfaces while maintaining the braking surface needed for consistent pad contact.

GCX Elemental Protection Line

Centric’s GCX Elemental Protection line is application-specific, with coating patterns and rotor metallurgy selected to match the brake pad friction type and OEM-style material profile. For this Nissan Frontier front rotor, that means a rotor engineered around the vehicle’s original braking requirements while adding protection on non-mating surfaces to help preserve appearance and reduce corrosion-related wear.

Detailed Description

The Centric 320.42067F is a front disc brake rotor for Nissan Frontier models from 1998 through 2004. It uses a vented, smooth-face design with a fully coated disc finish and coated hat finish, making it a practical choice for drivers replacing worn front rotors on a daily-driven truck. The rotor measures 259.8 mm in outside diameter, 40.0 mm in overall height, and 92.0 mm at the center hole, with a 114.3 mm bolt circle and six mounting holes. Centric’s GCX formulation is built to align with OE performance expectations while improving resistance to rust on exposed areas.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Rotor Can Address

• Brake pulsation caused by rotor wear or thickness variation
• Visible rust on the hat and non-friction surfaces
• Reduced braking consistency from worn front rotors
• Noise or uneven pad contact from damaged rotor surfaces
• Replacement needs during front brake service on a Nissan Frontier

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, and front position before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly so the rotor seats flat behind the hub, and inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition before reassembly. Proper bedding-in of new pads and rotors helps establish even friction transfer and stable braking performance.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs GCX rotors to match OE-style performance targets and uses application-specific metallurgy and coating patterns to support consistent fit and corrosion protection on the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier front brake application.
