Centric 320.61037F Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Centric GCX Rear Brake Rotor Overview

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor, part number 320.61037F, is a rear vented rotor built for OE-style braking performance and corrosion resistance. It is a fitment-specific option for 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, 1993-1997 Ford Thunderbird, and 1993-1997 Mercury Cougar rear brake applications.

With a fully coated disc finish, coated hat, smooth surface, and straight vane design, this rotor is built to match the original rotor profile while helping protect non-mating surfaces from rust. The 320.61037F is a practical choice for drivers looking for a rear brake rotor for Lincoln Mark VIII, Ford Thunderbird, or Mercury Cougar models.

Product Details

Centric’s GCX Elemental Protection line uses application-specific coating patterns and rotor metallurgy to align with OE requirements. For this rotor, the fully coated finish helps protect the hat and non-mating surfaces from rust and corrosion, while the vented construction supports heat management during repeated braking. The 320.61037F is engineered for rear use on 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, 1993-1997 Ford Thunderbird, and 1993-1997 Mercury Cougar models, making it a direct-fit replacement for drivers restoring braking performance and appearance.

Centric GCX rotors are built around vehicle-specific metallurgy and coating strategy, which helps maintain the intended brake feel and rotor profile for the application. If you are searching for a rear brake rotor for a 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII or a rear brake rotor for a 1993-1997 Ford Thunderbird or Mercury Cougar, part number 320.61037F is the matching Centric GCX option.

What This Rotor Helps Address

• Rust and corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or below-spec rear rotors
• Noisy braking from uneven rotor wear
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor thickness loss
• Appearance issues from uncoated rotor surfaces

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle fitment, rotor diameter, center hole size, and bolt pattern before installation. This rotor uses a floating disc mounting design and does not include ABS tone ring or bearings. Inspect pads, caliper condition, and hub surfaces during service to help ensure proper rotor seating and even braking contact.

For best results, clean the rotor’s friction surfaces before installation and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs GCX rotors to match OE performance targets while using corrosion-resistant coatings and application-specific metallurgy. The 320.61037F is built for consistent fitment on the listed Lincoln, Ford, and Mercury rear brake applications.
