Product Details

Centric’s GCX rotor line is built around vehicle-specific coating patterns and metallurgy selection. This rotor uses an enhanced carbon or high carbon alloy formulation depending on application requirements, helping maintain OE-style braking characteristics on the Kia Sportage front axle. The fully coated finish helps protect exposed surfaces from corrosion while the smooth braking surface supports consistent pad contact.

The 320.50002F is a direct-fit front disc brake rotor for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage and is sized with an 11.181 in. outside diameter, 0.945 in. nominal thickness, 0.882 in. discard thickness, 2.008 in. overall height, and a 3.791 in. center hole diameter. It uses a floating disc mounting design, straight vanes, and two miscellaneous holes as specified by the application.

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

Common Reasons to Replace

• Brake pulsation from rotor wear or thickness variation
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Reduced braking smoothness from scoring or surface damage
• Noise caused by uneven rotor wear
• Loss of OE-style braking feel on the front axle

Installation Notes

Verify rotor dimensions, hub fitment, and lug pattern before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake noise or pedal vibration. Always inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition during rotor replacement, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures for torque and bedding.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs the GCX rotor line to align with OE performance expectations and uses corrosion-resistant coating on non-mating surfaces for extended service life and improved appearance over time. The brand’s application-specific approach to coating pattern and metallurgy is intended to deliver consistent fitment and braking performance for the listed Kia Sportage applications.
